I've spent my life recovering from things that I should have been protected from.

I was too young to become a ghost full of grief, children are supposed to be happy and free.

don't tell me I wouldn't be who I am today, without all the struggles I faced.

I already know that. I could have been a kid instead of being forced to grow up.

the people who were supposed to protect me,,
failed me. no amount of healing will change that.

**** right I'm angry, I'll never get my childhood back.

You can't go back to the beginning
You can't start from the end
At no point are you the same person
You can't go home again

In every heart there's an aching
A desire to remain
But with every moment there's a changing
It will never be the same

When you leave, memories go with you
But your love may stay with them
Like a phoenix, rise from the ashes
Take flight and build again
