That child is gone
Left to die years past
Innocence did not last
Normally it's true
But this isn't the case
The trauma I try to erase
Isolated seems better
Avoiding love so long
It always feel wrong
How can I be open
When my emotions speak
I am labeled weak
Could I be so different
Why should I care at all
When only hatred comes to call
I can never breathe
Suffocated by my pain
With these nightmares I contain
What is normal or mature
I wish I knew
So I could share that with you
If I say I care
How if I stay away
Afraid of what I may say
