A Young Child Cries

Deep inside a young child cries
Lost in a wave of emotion
Wave after Wave rolls over her
Of emotions alien to such a young child..

After each wave
She looks around to see
What the wave left her..

Page after Page of the adult life
She has to live again and again
Looking for a reason
For the nightmare to go on..

She is but a memory
Of a child I once was..

Before everything went wrong..

Innocence now lost
Lost in a sea of emotion
Deep inside of me..

A young child cries.
