Protect them both 💔

Sometimes I sit and think

how exactly I got here

The pain and memories that swallow me up

Nightmares that haunt the healing

I was just a kid who’s life fell apart

A baby brought into a painful world

Dumped into a broken home

A kid from a painful background

So close to death at a young age

But slowly healing that pain away

Remembering I’m still stuck

in the depths of my childhood

But learning to feel love again 

Building a new life to vanish the pain

I’ve watched people around me

The people that leave

Those who stay to attack

Endless pain from those to trust

Broken spells casted upon my youth

Hidden secrets about those who abused

Crushed detail of those hidden stories

rotting within a wounded girl

Who’s inner child is locked away

In a prison like form within

that wounded girls heart

Waiting for the light

Eager for freedom

Needing closure

“PROTECT HER”

You cease to shout

Though those words aren’t about

Protect the lost and confused inner child

The inner child with the lack of nurturing 

A girl deemed to have a stone cold heart

A girl ready to fall apart

The girl, the child

the hidden inner child within

Wondering how they survived

Surviving the worst of there story

With scars that lurk about 

“Protect them both” a whisper says…
