A daughter pain


Mist of the vastness of the world, There is a small, delicate girl who Is forced to endure a life of hardship And devoid of any semblance of joy. Or wonder. Her eyes betrayed her pain, And even though she tries to force A smile, her lips can barely muster a frown. Her childhood had been ripped away from her, Leaving her with nothing but A void where happiness can reside. Every morning, she wakes to a world That is bleak and unforgiving. There is no one to offer her comfort or solace, Not to listen to her Words or on her close. Her heart is heavy with the weight of the world, Enter spirits feel as though it Has been crushed wander The weight of all the suffering She had endured. She is searching for a way out, But the path ahead of shrouded in darkness, And she doesn't know where to turn. The world has been unkind to her stealing Away all that she held dear. Here dreams have been dashed. Against the rock of reality. Despite it all, she sold it only Trying her best to survive in the world That see, determined to grind her down into dust But the pain remains; the stone is currently clean. The room was like a shadow that refused to be aside.
