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 "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

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 |
