Dear Adalaide Harrison,

When seven, you scoffed at the idea of heaven,
Told me it was only hell in the end and that I must be content.
Every good I did was of no need,
And every evil thought of mine was equal to that of a deed.
Every time I aimed for the best,
You'd water the seeds of fear in my head,
Let them grow strong and freshly green,
And soon it was a jungle I was stuck in.

When I ran away in fright you'd weaken my sight
Make sure to have my path blocked if ever I was right.
Everywhere I went, everything I did, you were always by my side,
Your company a dreadful nightmare from which I could never wake up.
Through persistent whispers at times of weakness,
Right into my ear, forever you were encouraging fear,
Your words venom I could never get myself cleansed from.
You made me believe I was no human being like any other, but a terrible monster instead.

Yours,
The Innocent.
