When you were the kid,
Beaten and down trodden,
It’s not ok when your the child that stops others being harmed,
It’s not ok when those you try to protect see none of you hurt,
Where are those people when your falsely accused,
When those family dinners your not there,
You have a person in your life who thinks no one has her pain.
Its not ok when your pain is etched in your soul,
No one sees it,
I’m not a bear,
When I cry no one hears,
Sophie and Teddy come and worry,
And love me,
It’s not enough,
The memories still consume me.
