Growing up born of confusion,
Things sugar coated with sprinkles
When in very well it was poison
being shoved down my throat.
Learning later on it was like the sky breaking,
Thunder hitting me in the back
Proved the most backstabbing,
As you grab the ground underneath me
I thought you taught me it was always green
But I guess some things
aren't greener on the other side.
You made me learn
Everything is temporary.
The most terrifying thing is
Losing my trust in everyone around me.
In my body too.
Memories hit me harder
Than doing homework,
Doing what I loved,
And from ever being a normal kid again.
I fell apart as self worth left me
Before I knew what it was.
I was a kid running around
with a kaleidoscope
Pointing backwards,
Trying to figure out the stars
When I didn't need to.
I wanted a solution for why
my heart is beating in pain.
Then I found someone else
She helped hold the pain with me.
She taught me self worth
Along with the reason to trust again.
She was my tether to all good and bad mornings
That made me smile in resilience.
At school it is my forever escape,
My breath, and my calamity vanished.
I still hurt
My childhood trauma never goes away.
But with my small circle I trust,
It feels a little easier.
