Somebody I Once Knew

April 18, 2019

She was small and innocent

Naive to the world around her

The thoughts of darkness were persistent

She thought it would last forever

Pieces fell and shattered like glass

Her tears were like a waterfalls in an ocean no one could see

Drowning and praying for a pass

Eventually she fell to her knees

I look back and see her sadness

I see her struggles throughout my own epiphany

My friend my child my wonderful wilderness

Her screams echo through my body like a symphony

She fell so far from the hilltop of expectations her parents had built

I carried her through the water and back into her feet

I showed her the future, she would not be beat

We helds hands tight and kissed the stars

She was able to take off her clothes and show them her scars

She grew and she flew from the bottom to the top

Here I am with an angel from below

We grew together and left behind our past

We fly into the unknown, me and my past.
