Lost Child Syndrome

By Uglytruthis

Isolation is a safe place
I feel alone
Locked behind these walls I created
Hiding from myself
Ashamed of who I am
Feeling I do not belong anywhere
lost child syndrome
Wanting to dissappear into the background
Unknowing  wants and needs
Having to fight through life with no one to guide me
Unable to get close
As a little girl I remember hiding in my room for hours
Leaving late at night to go sit in the tree house
Going on walks to wrote poetry by the creek
Playing pretend with my friends
Anything to avoid being home
A place so cold and unpredictable
…nothing ever made sense
My silence was a cry for help
I learned not to trust
I learned to do things by myself
I don’t want to push people away
I don’t want to be alone
Theses prison bars are so cold

Stay song ♡ you are not alone
