Overcoming

Innocence taken...

Torture of denial...

Silence eats...

Reality pains...

Vulnerable now...

Feeling small...

Twisting fear...

Grief-filled heart...

Chancing life...

Fighting death...

Endless hope...

This was written to describe a childhood experience but somehow it described a lot of inheld feelings about my childhood.
