The child I left behind

That child I left on read all those years ago,

The happy memories deleted from my mind

People left behind;

smiles and laughs all gone,

replaced with a blank face and cold shrugs


Grown ups asking how I am wondering, if something is wrong,

a fake show smile put on for people,

drifting away into the shadows,

people ignoring me for better things


That child I left on read all those years ago,

I wonder what would happen if I spoke to them again;

they would probably reject me just like everyone else,

But still I try,

I fake that smile for them.

I join in for them,

in the hopes that one day I could see them again;

maybe one day...
