A Truthful lie

I grew up

I was a baby
Just like you
I turned 1
And then 2
3 and 4
Were pretty good years to
Then I turned 5
Met this 6 year old guy
Made a new friend
Who was there till the end
Then I went missing
While my family
Wished for anything
I was hurt and abused
While some where
Loved and amused
I know people have it worse
Don't preach at me
But while I still have a child's mind
I grew up thinking
14 years old
Scared of my room
Terrified of people
But loving of you
Sleepless nights
And trying to use
All of my strength
To start over new
A new name
A new thought
A new girl
With secrets in a box
Time to realize
Life is not just some open box
It's a cage
A jail
That we learn to bend and make
At 14 years old
My mind grew up
With the pain of the world
