Thankyou

Thank you for scarring me 
for a lifetime ~
I can still never watch
a father hug his child,
without feeling the rush
of tears inside.


Thank you for maiming
my childhood with real times ~
I never sought help,
never wept, never fell,
never broke, never spoke,
kept it all - bottled within.


Thank you for making me 
distrust fairy tales ~ 
I never relied 
on a prince to fly by
to love me, to claim me, 
to save me from fires.


Thank you for pushing me
to grow beyond my age ~
Can you see my wounds?
I have hidden it, and how! 
Ain't I a woman now?
Haven't I made you proud?
