Notes From The Forgotten child Poem by Katie Anon

I am the weight you carry each day
The urge to run, hide, escape
I am the product of an unhappy home
So unwanted, unhappy, so alone
You wanted me to disappear
As I'm in pain which cripples us both
But wherever you go I am always near
It is my presence you most fear
Now you have seen me more clearly
You are trying to care about me
But I don't think you can sooth the pain
Or make me feel ok again
You can't love as I need
I want someone to hold me close
So I finally feel safe and free
Then maybe I can I can feel happy
I yearned for someone to fill that role
Alas they all missed my greatest needs
The pain only grew with fear of rejection
Now I am even scared of affection
I want to feel not alone or sad
I want to not be scared anymore
To feel content and at peace
And for the hurt to decrease
I dream that someone else will see my soul
And help me to feel whole
Most of all I want someone to love me
Only then do I believe can I be free
