my 7 year old self
is fighting me
she is begging
for help
she is screaming
for help
she is stuck in trauma
i am trying
at 29 years of life
to understand her pain
her frustation
her hurt
her coldness
her fear
when i think
about it all
it makes me cry for her
i wish i could have saved her
but i know i cannot go back in time
no matter how badly i wish i could
i cannot change what has happened
i can only change me today
that is what i tell her
in hopes one day
she is at peace
