In childhood’s innocence, a little girl
Abused and neglected, her hope lost
Alone and afraid, her mind in a whirl
Through the darkness, she began to unfurl
A survivor of the pain and the cost
In childhood’s innocence, a little girl
Her mental health suffered, her mind in a swirl
PTSD haunting her, memories tossed
Alone and afraid, her mind in a whirl
But slowly, she found a way to twirl
Towards healing, towards a future embossed
In childhood’s innocence, a little girl
Finding strength in her own inner pearl
She learned to cope, her past defrosted
Alone and afraid, her mind in a whirl
Now she stands tall, a survivor unfurled
No longer defined by what she has lost
In childhood’s innocence, a little girl
Alone and afraid, her mind in a whirl
Written in response to today’s word of the day, which was the word neglected.
