Young Life

Being a young white-girl
in this century
has ups
and downs.

People see my life
to be extravagant.
A shining jewel;
receiving everything
I could ever want.

But
behind closed doors
threats lurk
cornering me
until hope is lost.

To others
my darkness is
invisible.
Unseen but
purely there.

It's not a fairy tale
yet
I feel my pain
succumbing
into the hope
of a better day.

Times will change.
Pain
will fade into peace
within my soul.
