Where were You?


Where were You?

 

When i needed you the most,

i now see what type of person you are,

 

The type of person to lure people in with Your lies and deception.

 

i sit here in this dark,

and scary place

crying out to You,

dying slowly,

Wishing you were here.

 

You abandoned me,

this child,

doesn't even know how to take care of itself.

 

Where were You?

 

during the time

You left me

In the dark all alone

to fend off those who aren’t Holy,

to hide in tiny places,

to try and not be found.

why would You leave me all alone

during the time

i was taken away from You.

 

You looked at me with,

Such monstrous eyes,

and watched them,

the kind of people that You can’t trust,

the World,

and whatever is in it,

Take me away from You.

 

How could You,

 

Was it already planned out

From the beginning,

From the time i was

born?

Was i always meant to

be taken away from you?

 

Oh how i wish that

wasn't the truth.

Am i that horrible to have

Around.

if i wasn’t smart would you accept me?

if i was to cut off my long hair,

so that it wouldn’t get in your way,

would you love me more?

if i were to be more like you

would it be okay for me to stay a little bit longer?

Your own child,

parents are supposed to always

Protect their children?

Am i not right or am i just wrong?

 

Why, why, would You

do this to me?

You’re supposed to always

be the one person in the

Whole

Wide

World

Protecting,

making sure they’re aren’t any monsters

hiding under my bed at night

or in my closet.

You’re supposed to threaten those who

have any intentions of hurting me,

and guiding me away from Evil.

 

you lied

 

you lied to me

you'd always say

That “I'm the only one you can trust

and the only one

who will always protect you."

 

But you didn't

you didn't

you never kept your promise,

Now I'm here TRAPPED in this

Dark,

Scary room

with people who are just like me.

 

A person who now doesn't know

Left from Right

Or

What's Right from Wrong.

 

We were taken away

From the people whom we trusted

the most

We're here all alone

Stuck in between two dimensions

Life and

Death.

 

Why did I ever trust you?

I trusted you with my life

and the only thing you did was

Stomp,

Spit,

and Throw it

Far away.

 

but still to this day I,

wait for the day that you'll

finally come and save me,

WE all do.

 

Where were you?

 

Aren't you the kind of person to

Lure people in with your

Lies and

Deception?

 

And when I needed you the most,

you weren't there to

protect me.

 

And all

i wanted was someone

To watch over me.
