Dear baby girl who's picture lies in the frame that rests on the dressing table
of the master bedroom
Sitting still in an empty home,
But a full house
Longing to be held once more
With the affectionate touch that put it there all those years ago
It is a gorgeous frame
Entraping a blisfull memory of the baby
Who's picture lies in it
As it rests on the dressing table
Of the now empty master bedroom

Family
A house is not a home without it
However you have not felt at home with it
They say blood is thicker than water
Well no wonder this house is so dry
The blood has ensured that you drown
and thirst at the same time
Baby girl the older you got
The harder the facaude fought to pull through
The hidden truths behind the "perfect family" rouise
Leaked passed the walls that gaurded your innocence
With it's demise grew
the directly proportional you
A you that is perfect to apease the outside view
So that the crubling house looks brand new
Yet still you smile in the picture that lies in the frame that rests on the dressing table of the master bedroom
An old happiness frozen in time
A different zone when the empty house
was a home

Who are you now baby girl?
Teenage girl, young women
Have you decided to wonder this world all alone?
Forever tormented by the ones you once called your own?

I am daughter
The overcomer of childhood trauma
