Innocence,
I don't remember innocence,
even in dreams,
a time when freedom
is a taken for granted
by most
to run in the grass,
skinned knees and bumble bees.
Funny how a memory will trigger
a spiral of thoughts,
feelings resurface
and I,
reminiscent of all that was taken from me.
My Mary Jane's ill fitting
for the adult I was forced to become
when I was still too young
to know what was right....
I wake with eyes wet,
just enough to catch the moonlight
to reveal the child still lives,
and waits for the one
who will love her...

Patience is a virtue even if waiting can seem to take forever.
