When a kid

Let's say my name is Tim

Mom used to tell me so many things

About life and

To enjoy my childhood and make it last.

Everywhere around me

Life was a wonder

Everything was big

I wondered also of a forever

So many people died around me

I felt so small yet big at the same time.

I stared at the stars and tried to memorize each one

Why did I do that?

I have no idea

But it all seemed as if I needed to remember them all.

I wondered of my future, how it all would pan out

I wondered of my present and my past

How big of a cross did I have

My childhood was ripped away in a flash

Everything changed yet still people judge

Many people on me turned their backs

I was a kid

Say my name was Tim

I was alone but there was always two people by my side

There was mom and there was God

Oh the joy I felt at that.

No sarcasm

I was happy to have them a lot

Although I did wish for more people to be by my side

I was still happy for once to have mom and God

I was taught to be grateful to have what we have

It makes sense and I truly am by heart

At times though I cried

Everyone turned their backs on that kid

Say my name is Tim

And all I wished was for my past and that pain

To all go away.

It choked me at night

I yelled with no sounds

But then mom embraced me and I prayed to God

And all the pain went away for that moment now

I was a kid

Say my name was Tim

I needed a break

I needed it.

I'm still carrying that cross

Nobody knows behind of that smile

Nobody knows the pain and the never ending thoughts

Nobody knows yet they have the audacity to still judge.

Stop!

That's why I hate injustice overall

What?

You think because I seem happy that I don't have a dark past?

Abuses and hurt all over the kids life

It followed throughout the kids life

But there came a time to say good bye

To my past life

I forgave 'them'

I forgave him

Everything's past

I forgave it all.

Time for a new life

I begin to live life better now

But there's one thing that has to stop

Don't judge!

You never know the life of someone

The beatings or abuse all in all

Everything all in all

Just please don't judge.
