DEAR OLD ME .....ARE YOU OKAY!!!!!!!!!!

Dear old me are You okay? Leaves invisible scars .shaping a child's emotions and trust long after the pain fades ,it ingers in the heart, impacting how they see the world.

 I was just a child,quiet and small

But their voice echoed through the hall

Each push ,each shove , every cruel stare 

Made me wonder why no one cared 

Their fist spoke louder than words could tell

Every bruise become a story to sell

I tried to hide ,I tried to be brave 

But their shadows followed, wave after wave

They'd corner me when no one could see

 laughter ringing, breaking me free from every hope , dream held 

In their grip ,my spirit quelled

Years have passed,but their faces remain 

In my mind ,carved in pain 

I've grown taller l've learned to fight

But still tremble alone at night

I became what I feared,hard as a stone

So no one could see how much. Have grown

Into someone still haunted, still torn apart

By the echoes of fist that hit my heart

Now I'm a bull , strong and tough but it's all a mask I'm not enough

I built these horns ,so sharp and fierce to hide the wounds they used to pierce

But even now though I stand tall I still feel small, still fear the call 

I hear voices in the dark a bully's shadows a lasting mark they told me I was weak 

And I believed now I fight,but I've never truly achieved the peace I crave the calm I seek 

Because inside still feel weak long scar , even though l've come so far I still flinch when 

Shadows pass still afraid behind the glass for no matter how strong l've grown to be,the child in me is never Free I fight to survive to stay alive 

But deep inside,I just want to hide 

Maybe one day I will break the chain

And learn to live without the pain 

But for now,I ware this mask so brave 

A bull outside but still a slave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
