For the child in me

For the child in me

A Poem by Vivien Shapiro

Dear child in me,
     i'm sorry i let you down and became somebody you never thought you would be. I'm sorry for the scars and wounds on your thighs and i'm sorry for your tired eyes. I'm sorry you've become so sad and forgotten what its like to laugh and smile and feel alive and i'm sorry i have killed the light you once had glowing inside. I'm sorry for watering the flowers you  had in your stomach with vodka and for letting your heart break in half because of stupid boys who never cared enough to stay . I'm sorry i stopped loving and caring for people the way you did and for letting the people you leaned on most to walk out of your life. I wish i could go back and make you stronger. But now there is nothing that can bring you back because you are dead and theres nobody left for me to rely on but the broken person i call myself.

Wow that was really deep but honest..Sometimes it's good for the soul to be open about our lessons here on earth..We grow and move forward

this made me think about how lucky human beings are to have eachother. without eachother we could not procreate, and if we could not procreate then my children would never know what hot chili doritos taste like. 10/10.
