Echoes

I believe things good and bad that happen within our childhood can affect how we are as adults and how we inter react with others.  

ECHOES 

The echoes from past times
Of mental and physical crimes,
Haunt the chains I have made
Since my childhood was betrayed,
Echoes interrupt my being,
Constantly in my head,
Like a film i'm seeing,
Played and replayed,
Always bubbling away
Waiting to invade.
Echoes beat in my heart,
Drowning the love you give me, 
Unless I rewrite my history, 
The echoes of the past 
Will destroy us
Shatter us like glass !

My Dolly




“We cannot blame a child for being afraid of the night.  The real tragedy of life is when men become afraid of the light.”MY DOLLY

My Dolly's like me
Her eyes are blue
But when I smack her  
Or whack her 
Her skin doesn't bleed 
She doesn't cry 
Her hair stays still 
My dolly's like me  
When my bruises are gone
