Outta Sight

Dancing swinging swaying laughing

Memories like butterflies flit fluttering

The cobwebs of the mind slowly start to break

Releasing much lost nostalgia in its wake

Some things have lain so low and deep

So sure those thoughts I did not keep

To see them in my mind so real and clear

I now know why I was clouded with fear

My life, my own simply was not

My parent, siblings and peers took their shot

In them I had trusted as I rightly should

But all alone this child walked misunderstood

Then into an adult this child had to grow

Knowing she will reap exactly what she did sow

She drew on all of life'

s lessons gone past

Her strength she knew, wouldn't last

She tried to stand tall with all her might

But she knew her future was outta sight.
