The Game

This is something I wrote awhile back after waking up from a nightmare about something that happened in my childhood.

 

The Game

Born with innocence
To have it taken away
Your game my pain

Threats you made
Tears I shed
It was all a game

You didn’t care
The pain you caused
Innocence lost forever

They say time heals all wounds
These wounds are still open wide
Nightmares over and over again

Do you care about what you have done?
Live life with torment, suffer for this
It was all a game

Innocence lost
Never to have again
Let the nightmares end

For you there was no torment
Do you care about the child you destroyed?
Of course you didn’t, to you it was all a game

Been there and revisited it with your emotional piece.

Excellently written from a survivor's point of view.

Born with innocence
To have it taken away
Your game my pain...

Another powerful and emotionally charged write. Child abuse is such a heartbreaking and atrocious reality in the world. It just makes me sick that someone could do such a thing to an innocent child.
