A Broken Child
I am lonely and a broken child,
Grew up around actions that are mild,
My last birthday was when I last smiled,
As I was not an only grandchild,
Throughout my life span I've been filled with hate,
To the extent where I couldn't think straight,
Could no longer believe in love or fate,
Because I knew that I'm not all that great,
I tell everyone else that I'm alright,
Except for me because I'm in a fright,
As I continue to walk in the night,
I then began to start up a big fight,
I show my rejections through my actions,
After that no longer feel satisfaction,
The guilt inside shows just a small fraction,
To where I care less of their reactions,
Throughout my life I've always been bruised,
But this is the time where I start to refuse,
To allow myself to be once again used,
And to not be a victim of abuse.
