Every time I reach out a hand they become further away The tears trickle down their cheeks Unable to keep calm steady breaths I try to comfort them, but I don’t know what to say They are so innocent. What hurt them so bad? I can read their face like a book The fear in their eyes, and panic in their heart The pain in there tears or an expressionless face if they’re sad I don’t understand why I can’t speak to them to try and help The child just sits there curled up in a dark corner I look around for help but no one is there Then I look at the child eyes and realize it is myselfBirth sign: Aquarius
