The Trophy Child

There was a time I dreamed of walking under the rain,

With sweet tenderness by my side;

There was a time I dreamed of running through the mountain,

With wild strikes catching up behind;

I dreamed of a dream,

That my smile makes me enough;

I dreamed of a dream,

That my tears make me be seen;

.

Exactly, like other girls I’ve seen.

.

But it all went wrong,

It all went wrong….

.

Someone has to try harder;

Putting on the costumes of grandeur,

Residing in the chateau of terror,

Here comes that poor girl,

Putting on a show of a princess.

.

They smiled,

They praised,

They fantasized,

All is bestowed, if only temporarily,

For the good show displayed.

.

Be silent,

Just be silent, my trophy child,

There is no blame if you don’t complain.

.

Disappear,

Just disappear, my trophy child,

There is no hurt if you don’t love.

.

.

.

Final denote: This is the hardest thing I’ve ever brought myself to write. However, on the bright side, it marks a new start that has been calling me to embark…..
