TARNISHED INNOCENCE

The innocence of a child,
selfishly stolen by another
start emotions running wild
and a grudge against her mother.
Although her mom didn’t know
she would have changed things if she did
hatred began to grow
keeping the terrible secret hid.
Ashamed, hurt, and confused
with each and every tear
forced to act like things were good
the pain continued for years.
Always seemed too busy
for time with her child
she chose a man instead
which led the girl to run wild.
He had such a control
thinking only of himself
sedated her mom with alcohol
then put the girl through HELL.
Self esteem now gone
self worth never there
always felt alone
and that her mom didn’t care.
Disgusted with this man
ashamed for what he had done
years of disappointment
many more feelings to come.
Then suddenly things stopped
when she became a teen
secretly crying out for help
signs were never seen.
Throughout teenage years
many mistakes were made
already living with regrets
but this girl had been saved.
Her mother learned of the secret
that was kept for so long
skeletons released from the closet
but he felt he did no wrong.
No remorse for his actions
no punishment handed down
hard with no conscience
he was free to roam around.
A few years had gone by
then she was told of his death
left wondering why
it took so long for his last breath.
It’s taken a lot of time
to let go of the hate
my heart can now smile
better things on my plate.
My kids will never come last
nothing but the best for them
learned from some events in the past
don’t want to ever live it again.

| This poem has an amazing story. If it's true, then It's a very sad childhood u had. Thankfully, you have gone past that, and are now stronger than ever. PEACE |

I two can relate except it wasn't immediate family.
You've done a great job writing this.
I know how hard it is to write it then put it out there.
I'm sure it will touch many some in good ways then others may just be a perpetrator. They need to read it too.
Blessings,
