My childhood was far from innocent.
I learned to survive before I could use the stove.
I learned adult things before I hit puberty.
I learned what life truly was about before the age of 10.
My childhood was shorter than most.
I had to be an adult by the age of six.
That's when the neglect started.
And then the abuse.
But I've outgrown that.
I've grown up.
The dreams I used to have have died.
I no longer see the good in life.
I laugh
But I never truly feel happy.
I'm numb.
Always numb.
When I start to feel even the slightest bit happy.
Life pushes me down again.
So now I've learned to be
Comfortably numb.
