Growing,

Home never felt like home,

Comfort was a stranger here,

Isn’t home a place where comfort should live?

Instead it felt like an abyss

Laughter was laid underground,

While Pain, wrapped around me like a second skin.
 

My mouth, sealed with thorns,

my heart bleeding rivers I couldn’t contain.

breath, was luxury that I couldn’t afford.

Family broke me,

Friendship unraveled  me,

Love,

Love reshaped my very existence . ©️By_Ann.

So I whisper in tears,

save my child,

From life’s monsters

Where misery greets each day like a ritual.

I thought  I was fighting demons,

But i was fighting life’s fickleness,

I wrestled with  every fragments of my  soul,
 

And still I say,

Save my child.
