Little Girl Lost ( A Letter to Myself)
She never used to show her true self
That young girl was put away on a high shelf.
Put on a happy face, despite the storms inside
Outsiders never knowing the hell through which she would ride.
Getting abused from daybreak to night
Feeling as if she couldn't do anything right.
Learning to despise herself and cause her own pain
Wishing those people could never hurt her again.
I grieve for her innocence lost
For her heart covered in frost.
For her losing her will to live
For feeling she had nothing to give.
She didn't deserve the abuse and pain
The violent storms and torrential rains.
Read the rest of the poem Show less
She is deserving of care and so much love
Of feeling the sun shine down from above.
Joy and happiness should live in her soul
Loving herself, her ultimate goal.
She is worthy and she deserves it
She never asked for this hurtful bullshit.
Embrace her, love her, provide her a safe space
Let her grow at her own pace.
Be proud of the woman she will grow to be
And realize her battles were never easy.
