She's sitting
Infront of the television
An image of innocence
She's only six
Silently glued
To her favourite tv show
Playing with her Jem and The Holograms
Not a care in the world
Mommy always on the telephone
Daddy never is really home
Just her and her Jem Dolls
Same old routine
She can't really remember a thing
Only thing she can remember
Is playing hide and seek
In the dark
In a house
They stole something from her
But she couldn't put her finger on it
She was only six
An image of innocence
Where were her Jem Dolls then
Or her mommy and daddy

15 years later
21 now
An image of what?
A shell of a little girl
Wondering what the hell
She did
To deserve such a past
Clinging onto her insecurities
Wondering who would want her now
To hold her now
To deal with what she's seen
And chose to push away
She cries in desperation
Moving, falling
Deep within circles
It really shouldn't be an issue
But deep within
Her subconscience
It lingers like a bad taste
Like a needle of cocaine
Plunged deep within her brain

So who
Who in the hell
Is willing to deal with it
When at times I can't even deal with it myself....

(big hugggssssss) Oh Kristen, I'm so sorry you had to go through all of this, sweet friend, I too was neglected as a child, though my mom loved me at least. (sigh) My thoughts go out to all who are neglected of love as a child, sweet friend, my prayers are with them all, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kristen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Kristen...

Innocence is a precious part of a child.

Lost innocence is tragic...

Abuse is a terrible part of humanity that
is so real.  

That little girl....who I can only assume
was you...DID NOTHING to deserve this loss.

Too often...so many parents are not ready to
be parents...Many grew up with the same
style of parenting from their parents...
They learn what they see...  And many
learn their mistakes late in life..if at all.

Hugs to you..

Barry
