Survivors Poetry

Untitled

I'm writing this poem for all to see
it's from the heart so here my plea
all the kids in the world today should be allowed to run and play
I'm sorry to say but that’s not so was one of those kids so I should know
feeling hurt no love just pain
I never want this to happen again
shut in a room under lock and key
all alone wont someone see
I go to the window looking out
other kids they sing and shout
in the daylight's not that bad
if I could get out I'd be so glad
it's at night when when I feel fear
someone's coming
someone's near
so open your eyes go on lets see
stop it happening to them like it happened to me
I feel my story must be told
to help those kids keep their hearts of gold
