Innocent?
Children are innocent they say
but what happens when pain takes that all away?
Rosey red cheeks and cute dimples
they hide it so well, people can't even tell
aren't your parents supposed to protect you?
Mommy where are you? I know dads too eventful.
Parent's don't get time off
Why am I five and finding my own lunch?
Mom, I wish you didn't have to leave
I ask God everyday for strength to get up off my knees.
You could have saved me from the "man" you married
All the abuse could have been carried away
with his things if you could have kicked him out
I am a teenager now and it makes more sense.
You didn't want to leave, but heaven was dense.
I will find forgivness for you both one day-
When thinking about the pain doesn't make my day turn gray.

This article is very personal to me, because it does explain some things that I went through when I was younger. I hope others can read this poem, and relate to it if it is something they have been through. I also hope this helps someone to reach out and fix the problems they are going through.
