The Child in Me

by Kristin Smith   Aug 9, 2006


I was so young and didnt know, but my scars from the past are beginning to show. The lies and the tears that I tried to ignore, the threats and deceits all from before. I felt the hurt all the same , but still I doubted the reality of my pain . Over the years I managed to hold everything in, but now I realize my barrier is wearing thin.

I saw through the lies and the things that you told me , but never realized youd cut me so deeply. But now Im bleeding from the inside out, too weak and tired to even shout. I look back to the past and see what I have lost. I look to the future and hope to learn from what your dishonesty cost.

But it wasnt jus me. No, there was more. And it was between these two loves that I found myself torn. How could you love them for so long, then turn around and spite them with hate? Can you accept the fault yourself now, or do you still blame fate?

Why couldnt you get over yourself and give it one more try ? But looking back I know the truth now, more than anything it was the LIES. So as you can see, the results were not at all mild. How could you ever do this to me, your very own child?
