Faith of A Child

By CutMeIWillBleed

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Faith of A Child "Dear God, Tonight I can't sleep, just like last night Mommy told me there's monsters under the bed She hit me again this morning And, Oh Lord, I cried and prayed to you then" I remember those nights and how I was so frail A little girl on her knees at the bedside And look at my shadow cast on the wall My sadness outlined by the night light Each time she hit me, I lost part of myself And I lost love for her with my tears But if I really have forgotten the pain Why am I forever in fear? Tonight I can't sleep, just like last night But faith has lost meaning with time I'll be old for the rest of my life When's it my turn to be a carefree child?
