A CHILD ABUSED
Afraid and lost,
Scared, rejected,
Frustrated, angry,
Hurt and neglected,
lonely, broken,
So confused,
Another victim,
A child abused.
I hate the memories,
They drive me insane,
Despise the fear,
Relive the pain,
Still feel the pain,
I was rejected,
I am that child,
That you neglected.
I recall the trepidation,
The long dark nights,
The sleep deprivation,
I am now in my 30's,
Still feel that pain,
The memories play over,
Again and again.
I close my eyes,
Still feel the dread,
Can't stop the playback,
Of the nightmares in my head,
I am told I am a survivor,
No longer being used,
But well into my adulthood,
I am a child abused.
