Healing

It's all your fault... or so I was told
I never questioned it because I wasn't that old
It was my fault my mom had me when she was 16
It was my fault my mother married a man who was mean
It was my fault when I was molested at the age age of 6 or so I was told
I never question because I wasn't that old
Everything was my fault or at least thats what I was told
As I look back into my childhood it was rather cold
But listen to me as I try to explain
I can no longer carry the burden of my childhood pain
It wasn't my fault my parents didn't care
It wasn't my fault they chosed to ignore my fears
It wasn't my fault I fell alone amongst my friends
No the fault will not lie on my soul until the end
The fault is with the parents who didn't take the time to care
Or have a moment to listen to my fears
However even with the pain of my childhood past..
The lesson that I learned will last..
Children are to be loved...
For they were once angels sent from above
