I was a child who

experienced things that no

child should

I didn't get to play

with dolls or toys like other kids could

I was the kid that adults went to

with their problems

I had to solve

adult's problems at a very

young age

I never had the

chance to worry about myself

because I was always told

that “since I was a kid I had

no say in my life,” even though we were always on the same page

Although I'm still a kid, it

feels like I've lived for so long

The heartache, the tears, the anxiety, the instincts

I Have been stressed and depressed

Wondering when will I get to rest

There's always someone

judging

Yet I can't keep quiet

Because that's apart of

growing up

We learn to open up in attempt to heal

But when I act

"childish" which is rare

I'm frowned upon for acting like a

kid although I am one

It truly sometimes seems so unreal

I get im mature and can deal with

many hardships

But as I get older I see how things have

affected me

They did form who I am today but it also damaged me

My heart and my mind are at

constant war with each other

A little voice screaming when can she be free
