Are you still mad?

My mother asked me today:

"Are you still mad about what happened?"

...

Your damn right I'm mad.

Livid.

I spent my life my childhood

Recovering over things I should've been protected from.

I was too young to become a ghost full of grief, not a child like me

Children are supposed to be happy and free.

Atleast that's how it's supposed to be.

So don't tell me I wouldn't be the person I am today

Without the struggles, without the pain.

Because I already know that.

I know that I could've been a kid instead of being forced to grow up.

And I know the people that were supposed to protect me failed me.

No amount of healing or leisure will heal that.

Damn right I'm mad

I'll never get my childhood back.
