Poet's note: I wrote this poem around May 2020. I did not write it for a specific person but it is my way of expressing myself from what I have been through as a child. While writing this poem I felt so sad it brought back all the memories I had buried but I feel like it was worth it to write out my thoughts. This poem means a lot to me as it is about me, my past to be specific, it is just a summary of my past and it means a lot to me and I feel like there are some individuals out there who could relate to this.
