I am A Child.

[b]I am a child, Yes I am.
I am a faint whisper in the distance waiting for the approval from the taller man or woman to grant me permission to speak. I am the gutless punching bag for the tall to prey on when they are feeling angry or upset. My opinion is never heard only overwritten like a typo because my spelling is not that great, my ideas are backspaced and erased because my plans are aimed to high and deemed impossible by the tall ones because "my brain is too small".

No matter how much I have been through to the tall ones i am seen as a child.
I am 17 years old and I have worked too hard pushing through the waves of life that are trying to knock me back I have worked too fucking hard to survive the obstacles that have already been thrown so soon.. I am tiptoeing, I am shuffling I am walking on egg shells but... for what? just to be called a "Child"

Well Let me tell you something and for once you will listen because I  will scream and shout until my vocal chords snap, my voice box breaks my ears start to bleed. I .. am no child no.. I am not, As a child I saw my mother being held captive by her throat with my fathers hands slamming her against the doors, walls and glass... I am no child, because after all the fights all the abuse even physically inflicted on me I still learned to forgive and love those who have hurt me...

I am tall just like you, I am strong! but.. I .. still hurt, no matter how strong the armor the words still slash my heart with a blade. Please just listen, I am no child, I grew up too quick..
