Just a Child


I am child Forced to be a man Told what to do Not able to choose I am a child Unwanted Unloved Why was I born? I am a child Filled with numbing hate My body screams from pain My mind cries as well I am a child Told that I am liar And forgotten always The loneliness eats me alive I am just a child Living in a world I did not create Becoming something I do not desire From the hands that should have helped me
