neglected
by the protectors
in charge
i’ll struggle
surrounded
by the horrors
the world has to offer
i’ll fight
living
by the sword
most of my days
i’ll wither
broken
by this life
and dysfunction
i’ll breakthrough

A poem that captures the dark sides of the world we are born in. It’s very good written, Luna, and it evokes the exact feelings we have in our hearts.
Thank you, Elena. You are so right about the dark sides of this world. Some people should never have been parents. 🙁
