grief

i’ve lost who i am

a part of me


d r i f t e d


away, with the abuse

i miss it.

it was me and it’s not my fault it was taken.

my innocence was put away

it’s still there, but in a box i had to hide for my safety


far

away

i can’t even remember how happy

my innocence
made me feel

protected

with

no

worries

or

regrets
