Stolen Childhood

She sat on a rock beside the river,
Aimlessly piercing through all that she could see.
Her eyes lingered carelessly far and beyond,
But never inside.
At such a tender age,
She grew to dislike the image they all painted
Making innocence sing a heartbreaking tune.
Lyric upon lyric,
Her childhood became devoured,
For she could not even see the childlike reflection in the water.
Sadly she placed her head in her hands,
And wept from dusk until dawn until forever more.
The beauty in her little face faded.
All that were left were marks of sadness
And tearless eyes,
But she still cried.

    This is a very sad, yet sweet poem! I enjoyed reading it! You could use a little bit smoother transitions between your lines but other than that it was a good write! keep it up.

    Wow

    This was personal for me, beautifully written. It brought to me the many times I felt this way in life. You used great imagery, because I could put myself into this poem.I could feel the loss of the childhood. Your title was perfect for the content, You drew me into the poem in the beginning, and left me feeling the saddness in your last lines. Great job, thank you for sharing!
