Do You See?
Angel wings
Scares to cover
Hide in darkness
Do you see?
Time is still
Life unchanged
World falling
Do you see?
Crippled wing
Locked cage
Can't fly
Do you see?
Shattered dreams
No strength
Can't fly
Do you see?
Survived fire
Smoke cleared
Cage unlocked
Do you see?
Crippled wing
Crashing down
Falling apart
Do you see?
Turning pages
Another chapter
Misery no end
Do you see?
Crippled wing
Can't fly
Don't try
Do you see?
At home...
Scares to cover
Hide in darkness
Do you see?
Time is still
Life unchanged
World falling
Do you see?
Crippled wing
Locked cage
Can't fly
Do you see?
Shattered dreams
No strength
Can't fly
Do you see?
Survived fire
Smoke cleared
Cage unlocked
Do you see?
Crippled wing
Crashing down
Falling apart
Do you see?
Turning pages
Another chapter
Misery no end
Do you see?
Crippled wing
Can't fly
Don't try
Do you see?
At home...

Your Child
Did you have a plan?
I was in your hands.
I had no choice.
I was your child.
You took away my voice.
You hid me from the world.
You kept me like a first edition.
I was your child.
I wept each day.
Isolation was my sentence.
Debilitating was your love.
I was your child.
You were selfish.
You were manipulative.
Your love caused my decline.
I was your child.
You died old man.
You died alone.
You didn't suffer...pitty.
I was your child.
You went suddenly.
You had no warning.
Your...

Pages
All my life I've been waiting to be free of my chains.
The pages of my existence are encrusted with misery and pains.
I've been living an endless nightmare without meaning.
I didn't feel safe when their words became demeaning.
I was left with a broken spirit and empty in despair.
I wanted so desperately to breath but couldn't find air.
I tired to run but it was impossible back then.
I was too fragile and thought I could never try again.
The tangled web of emotions is missing from my pages.
I am twisted up inside many different cages....

Angel
Children are angels from heaven sent.
Like captive birds clipped is one wing.
Searching for their earthly purpose their time is spent.
Light into your life they gladly bring.
Nurture and love them with gentle care.
Let them spread their angel wings.
Their shining souls they will bare.
Watch them fly as joy they brings.
Like a captive bird, crippled is one wing.
I was kept in a cage for far too long.
My soul was never allowed to sing.
The urge to stay cagged is far too strong.
Adult am I and no one's child.
Crippled wing, you...

Child
I am a child who always felt alone, wishing for a loving family.
Mum was always ill, dad was always surly and I got treated so dreadfully.
Mum would "have a cup of tea, a Bex and a good lie down."
I shared mud pies with me, myself and I, and we ended up grey, black and brown.
I climbed trees wanting to feel supreme.
All I heard was my mum scream.
I didn't know that the things I did were so wrong.
All I wanted was company and to get along.
It was impossible to be a good girl when the rules unknowingly changed.
I sure found out when my dad...

Walls
I felt trapped within those walls.
I felt I would never leave at all.
I felt a prisoner in my family home.
Oh how I wished to freely roam.
I didn't believe I would ever leave.
I felt locked away in that house would you believe.
He always found me with a face of gloom.
Desperately had to escape my room.
Blood was spilt
Pain was built.
Hope would wilt.
He had no guilt.
He lived in anger.
He took in anger.
He savaged in anger.
He was anger.
He whispered in my...

Should
I am a child who should be happy and carefree.
But I am different and don't dare to be me.
Children laugh and play each day.
But I hide in fear to keep the bullies at bay.
I am a child who should be happy to read.
But from this torture I yearn to be freed.
Children pretend and play make-believe.
But I wish I could run and forever leave.
I am a child who should be happy at home.
But I must be quiet and still like a garden gnome.
Children are happy to be with family.
But I wish to be an orphan so desperately.
I am a...
