A Part Of Me Is Missing

Learning how to grow and spread your wings and fly is hard enough, but falling and having no one to catch you is worse.

Although you see me laughing and smiling through my day

There’s a part of me missing

A part of me floating around in the sky trying to find its way back to me 

There are no how-tos in life

No hands reaching effortlessly to help

We are so guided when children

Then one day thrown off the cliff

To fend for ourselves 

Author's Note

Let me know what I can fix, negative or positive.

In a way, we are indeed taught how to swim by being thrown in the water. That's true for everybody. It would be nice if we were issued a how-to manual at birth.

[light and ashes]

In my opinion, this is well written.
I think so many people who go have been sexually assaulted/sexually abused feel like they are walking around with part of them missing (maybe the most important part). Unfortunately, I know about this too and can relate to your words.
