Aged 6

By 10 he’d touched me a thousand times,

Pit of Suffering

Disappearing into a vortex,
Into a whirlpool of despair,
My mind is forever falling,
As I grasp for help but no ones there,

But my fight for breath is escalating,

As it races out of control,
Round and around like a gold fish,
Swimming around in its bowl,

You can hide within its branches,
And it will keep you safe,
And it will keep you warm,
And it will keep all your demons at bay,

And safe within its branches it cradles me,

As I look out through its branches,
I see people crying for their loved ones,
Tears rolling down their faces,
I want to shout to them,
And let them in here with me,
I like the willow tree,
It sets me free,
And safe within its branches it cradles me,

But I can’t, I can’t let them in,
Even though I know their suffering,
