Karla, this is a great poem. I am so sorry for what you had to go through. You are so strong for managing that, especially at such a young age. On the outside, kids are just little goofballs running around with friends, playing outside, and making up games. But most people wouldn’t assume that a child could have so much pain within them. I sincerely hope that the light inside you will remain bright for the rest of your life. Don’t let others dim it! ♥
