Innocence Denied

The child inside smiles
Yet the tears still fall from ashen cheeks
The innocence gone
Stolen from inside. Tarnished by foul hands
Screams fall apon deaf ears
Answered only by hollow echoes of the past
Calling out in all directions
Past
Present
Future
Carrying their tortured stories of pain and fear
To refresh the memory
To re-open the wound
And the hate becomes salt
And yet somehow the pain is the only thing
That keeps me on track
But Id give all I have
To get innocence back.

This poem describes what happens to many children. It is bitter and I for one would not tell you to forget it. What I would say is as soon as you can turn your back on the past and live for the future. I spent the first years of my life in a state orphanage and could tell many a tale of the viciousness and ill treatment that went on in those far off days. I learned somehow to put it all behind me and to face the future, I have never looked back.
Keep smiling from bernard. |
