I Was 6 When It StartedA Poem by KatThis is a poem I wrote about a tragic event in my life.
I was 6 when it started.
I was 6 when a family member wronged me. I was 6 when nobody would listen. I was 6 when it was "just my imagination". I was 6 when I was "confused". I was 7 when family reunions weren't fun. I was 7 when holiday's stopped being joyful. I was 7 when I "didn't know better". I was 7 when my family let me down. I was 8 when I moved. I was 8 when I thought it would be better. I was 8 when my mother started thinking. I was 8 when I stopped seeing family. I was 8 when I had nobody. I was 10 when I brought it up again. I was 10 when I moved again. I was 10 when my father stopped caring. I was 10 when people started listening. I was 10 when I tore my family apart. I was 13 when I couldn't do anything. I was 13 when my sister left. I was 13 when it was my fault. I was 13 when my family let me down. I was 13 when it stopped. I was 6 when it started.
