Pain
Tracey G.
My childhood was taken fast.
I had no choice, no say –
My adult years began the same,
by many men I was hurt –
I tried to find my voice,
but no sounds, no words –
When I spoke no family believed,
so silence became my way –
Hopes and dreams are hard for me,
happiness is far away –
The person however that I am now,
is stronger from the pain.
