i wish i was a
better daughter
for you.
i wish i knew
what it would do
to you.
i wish i wasn’t
so afraid
and i wish i never
stayed
in that orphanage
where i barely left
my crib like a
cage.

i wish i grew up
before today
because now it is
much
too late.

When I was a kid
Trees were what I used to climb
Soon I stopped cause I grew up
I feel like i'm enslaved by the time

Used to steal my dad's pen
And get scolded for that mighty crime
Soon the scolding stopped cause I grew up
I feel like I'm enslaved by the time

I did not value the moments
I spent when I was a kid
I would go back to past
If in time I could skid
It's been over a year since I wrote the last poem. I'm not as good anymore, I'm rusted, but I could not let one thing fade away from my life that made me want to feel proud of myself. Poetry. It's not just chain of words, it's chain of powerful emotions and it is a therapy.

As a I child
I was ignorant
To the morbid society
That I lived in.
I was ignorant to the
Death that chocked me
Ignorant to the love that
Left me.
But now, I am not a child
I am an adult
Ready to beat the depression
That surrounds me with
A bright smile.
