Chocolate candy and silly cartoons

Wrestling in the afternoon 

Listening to his favorite tunes


They would be such simple memories 

If he didn't do that to you

Does he even remember these things

Or were you simply a forgettable toy 


Oh, sweet little child

Locked in the toy box

You would do anything for the love

You lacked from your mother


You didn't know what he was doing

You didn't know it was wrong

You thought it was all just a game

And to him, it probably was


Does he remember, I wonder 

The laughter you both shared

Giving that character hot pink hair

Or does he only remember 

His favorite game


Oh, sweet little child

Locked in the toy box

You can't help but wonder 

What you did wrong


"Was it something I said?" 

"Was it something I did?" 

"I should make sure to only make him happy." 

"Maybe if he's happy, this won't happen again." 


But it did. 

Again, and again, and again. 

It took years for you to understand 

That you did nothing wrong. 

But it's too late. 

You've been trained like a puppy. 


When was the last time 

You didn't smile? 

When was the last time

You said what you thought? 

When was the last time

You did what you want? 


Oh, sweet little child

Locked in the toy box

You haven't been there in years

But it seems you'll never escape

OrTomorrow
You Might Die Today

I hope that child can learn how to be happy, they truly did nothing wrong and didn't deserve anything like that. No matter how long it takes, I hope they can become happy. I hope, at her own pace, they can become happy.

(Great poems)

Sometimes when I'm having an episode, writing poetry helps me snap out of it. I didn't know what to do with them, so I decided to post them here. Apologies in advance that these will get rather dark.
