Let me be a child.

March 13, 2019

I made a poem for the man who hurt me. I finally spoke out against all my fear and worrying when I was 12.

“ LET ME BE A CHILD”

LET ME BE A CHILD,

So my hair can sway.

LET ME BE A CHILD,

So I can spend a carefree day.

LET ME BE A CHILD,

So I can be happy as I pray.

LET ME BE A CHILD,

So that my childhood can stay.

LET ME BE A CHILD,

Please dont touch me today.

LET ME BE A CHILD,

until im old and grey.

LET ME BE A CHILD,

I don’t want to live in fear today.

LET ME BE A CHILD,

It's been nine years I can say.

NOW IM A CHILD,

He finally got locked away.
