Trapped in this adult body - I'm still a child.
help me, hold me, look after me, don't touch me!
...I'm still a child.
20 years old and holding on to innocence -
I'm still a child.
Surrounded by toys yet expected to be grown up.
I'm just a child.
I'm 13, maybe 12, I'm just a child.
scared and crying alone - I'm 6, I'm just a child.
screaming "HELP! HELP"...
no response.
Scared and crying alone - I'm just a child.
'You're so strong'
'you're wiser than your years'
Yet with every inch of me - I'm still a child.
Caught in the middle of an independent and an invalid.
or perhaps just invalid. Invalid in my feelings, invalid in my struggles, invalid in my views.
Seen not heard - I'm just a child.
