Once Upon a Tear Drop

April 12, 2022
By Anonymous

A child sat in a shell

voices around muffled

By the thick walls of insecurity

Bound by the hurt

Scared by the monsters they called people

Utterly beaten

by the world that was supposed to be their oyster

robbed of their childhood

by the same person who trapped them

once upon a tear drop

held a bruised child

I thought some people may relate to my situation and not feel so alone. Even if were thousands of miles away I hope things get better for you.
