Forgotten child

by Bradley Peter   Nov 11, 2005


I've been gagged and taped
I've been hurt and raped
I've never escaped
yet still no-one sheds a single tear for me

I've been loved and used
I've been beaten and bruised
lost and confused
but there's no figure holding out a caring hand

I've been new and old
I've been bought and sold
been left alone in the cold
i start off on top, but then the ground crumbles away

In my dreams i fly
in my nightmares i die
when i awake i cry
but no-one dares to notice, so i fight alone

I'm a lost art
I'm a broken heart
I'm pieces apart
I'm the forgotten child, remembering all the pain

    "I'm a lost art

    I'm the forgotten child, remembering all the pain"

    You really have a way with words, very powerful.

    I've got to say though, I'm kind of worried about you. You have several recent sad poems. I read your "Live the lie" poem, and I hope there's no truth to what it said at the end. I'm hoping it was out of anger you wrote it, and didn't mean it.

    Although you probably hear this all the time, if you ever need to talk just send me a message. And really, be smart.
