Born to a world of indecision
Why or where would be my vision?
Not to have grown as I should
At no time given a chance to shine if I could
I feel deprived of my formative years
Never given an opportunity to express my fears
Did anyone ever care if I felt hurt?
No, instead my needs they chose to desert
Why did my parents not show love for me
Was it me they truly chose not to see?
I did not choose to live and suffer
I did not desire to always have to be tougher
Forever questioning, what had I done wrong
Always feeling I really didn’t belong
Like the keys that don’t secure the lock
My clock has no fuel left to continue the tick tock
No one seemed to care how hard I tried
Neither did it matter how long I cried
To act as the sentinel I was taught
For my own safety or needs never a thought
As I grew my heart did bleed and ache
I remember thinking maybe I was a mistake
My parent’s warmth and love, why did I not feel
Instead it was my dreams they chose to steel
Nobody was interested in how I felt inside
The sorrow I endured it never did subside
I find it hard to accept I was abused
All my childhood years it was me they used
I feel pathetic but I know in my mind I’m not
Many of my early memories I know I have forgot
For all those years I yearned to be nurtured
Instead in reality I feel like I was tortured
I struggle to find anything to measure my worth
I feel like it wouldn’t matter if I wasn’t on this
earth
The little girl that never was forever lost in the abyss
My parent’s love I feel I will always miss
Never feeling the luxury of safety I do grieve
In the arms of someone special I yearn to weave
I long to feel someone’s unconditional love for me
Loving me for all that I am and all that I can be
