Child Within

By Uglytruthis

Dear wounded daughter,

You took all the blame for the things that you could never have changed. Daddy and mommy were so selfishly consumed with themselves that they never gave you any love. Daddy took everything… you felt left with none…

It was safer to tell yourself you were the selfish one. To blame yourself for being abused by the very people who were suppose to keep you safe. To try to prove your worth by striving for perfection and acceptance.

I can see you never feel safe beneath your skin. I can hear your pain beneath the pretend. I can hear you whisper

Maybe if I was better

Maybe if I try harder

Maybe if I say the right things

Maybe if I am what you want me to be

Yet never enough still

This was not your fault… You were just a little girl…

Stay strong <3 You are not alone
