A

Toxic Childhood

Emotionally torn apart,
Visible scars from the past.
Reminisce of horror.
Reminder of terror.
Rejection for obvious reasons.
Oblivious of the future ,
Innocence is despised.
Life is brought to halt.
Razed to the ground,
Pile of ashes.
Did a bang up job,
Unwittingly aided others.
School similar to boot camp,
Teachers turned drill sergeants.
Home is hell on earth.
Where is the land solace?
Consolation is far from me!
Life Shrouded in mysteries,
Grapevines are prominent.
Secrets entrusted to few,
Always a painful memorial.
Made spectacle and reproach.
Wounds are mended,
New pen, new chapter.
