Surviving Innocence
Once upon a time when innocence was abundant and clear
Having a family with love, support, and all of their cheer
Feeling the most of ease and always safe from harm
Danger? Never not really, was lucky as a charm
When innocence got replaced with confusion and something not so clear
Leaving the feeling of nothingness and an emptiness while being blinded by fear
Someone close had stolen that innocence for themselves and now not so sure
No longer full of that ease in being safe and that feeling of so pure
Growing ever tiresome with the happenings again and again over time
A new sense took over and this name for it? Rage! And yes, made it all mine
Fueled with depression and fear? This Rage had become the most beautiful thing
Patching the heart enough in all the right spots just to hear it sing
This time a fight song with conviction to fight the enemy of truth and live The Lie
NOBODY wanted to hear that truth and instead would roll and turn to their blind eye
Turning to whatever fixes the pain of being broken is how this journey got it's start
Drugs, Booze, and sleeping with ANY stranger just to feel the beat of a heart
Finding yourself out in so many ways only added to this Rage within these walls
Then it too grew tiresome this thing called Rage fell and actually grew some balls
The TRUTH ALWAYS PREVAILS and this meant being a survivor of lost innocence
Instead of living the past everyday? How about leaving it behind as in past tense
Loving yourself enough to lead your life instead of following it from behind
Saving the regret of having done this sooner and looking at all the possibilities to find
With each step forward in becoming that better person that will be
Realizing that there is love in this life to be had and finding it in yourself in a life of,
?LoveMe?
