Poem: I Want To Live My Life As I Should

I write how I feel down

Afraid that the words will come alive if I say them out loud
Some days I feel so alone
But how do I feel alone when my secret is now known
To the outside world it looked like you cared
But really all you did was make a little girl so very scared
Taking away the innocence of her childhood
Before she even really understood
I’m older and wiser now
But even still I can’t understand how
You could do the things you did to me
Preventing a child from living her life carefree
I won’t let you hold me back
Even if I face my triggers and have another panic attack
I want to live my life as I should

I want to live my life like everyone else would
