This was written between the age of 10 and eleven.. I had spent three weeks locked in a room.. The room was dark brown so I made it into what i wanted..in my mind This was the beginning of my writing.. Not the best.. but the best a young girl could do. Repost


Poem Artwork

I sit alone
in my blue room
Waiting for the loneliness
I know will come soon.
I do not mind ..
because I know
the loneliness
will let me go
It will take my mind
to a familiar place
where life is more
than this human race..
Where children laugh
Where it seldom rains
Where I am safe
from life's inflicting pain.
Then I awake
I feel the gloom
I know I am back
in my blue room
A quick escape
I try to find
but I know it is only
in my mind.

This shows the talent that was developing and could be any age. A powerful write on the need to escape from our environment into one of the minds many shelters,when abuse is present. Thank God you were able to do so.

Erica when I was young I was locked up inside my own mind, for a long time my own brain beat the crap out of me. I did more damage to mayself than life or any enemy. Now in my mature years, I don't get beat up on that much not even from my own brain. I guess age brings the ability to quit getting our butts beat, even from self. hugs G
