​Unhealed child

by starlilly


A unhealed child

Who walks aimlessly through life

No guide in how to heal the pain that it feels

It’s surroundings is full of sorrow

The laughter echoes around its surroundings

Unheard its cries of pain

The heart of the unhealed child use to strong and a whole Now it's fragile and into pieces

It’s fragile heart is shattered on the ground

Too tried to fix the broken heart lay on the ground

The scars left on the body of the unhealed child

No one notices the scars unless the child say something about it

Then the people around fakely pretend that they care about it

The next second they forget about it

They move on through their life as nothing happened

Not noticing that the unhealed child is just standing there crying

Unhealed child its wounds are getting bigger each day that passes

Unsure in how many wounds it has

Some are there but unseen and not important enough to be seen

It wonders when someone will hear its cries

It’s spirit was so vibrant before but over time became dull and deep in sorrow

The unhealed child looking for hand that is reaching out

To help and save the unhealed child

But nowhere to be seen a hand in this darkness

Unhealed child

The unhealed child can’t tell no one as no one would understand the pain that is feeling

They just deny the pain telling the unhealed child that the pain isn’t there or they making it up

Family doesn’t seem to care about child who is suffering with pain

The burden that carries on its weak shoulders getting heavier each day

The burden of family, school, friends and social society get heavier

Even so with these burden the unhealed child puts everyone's needs before its needs

Thinking it's selfish to puts its needs before others

Even with biggest pain the unhealed child puts a worn out smile masking the pain

If you look closely enough you can tell that the smile is not genuine smile

The unhealed child act like it fine and its not drowning in its thoughts

From the outside you can’t tell that the child is suffering

Cause the child hides it so well it seems invisible

But deep inside its fighting demons a battle the constantly happens

Not a single of moment for the child to relax

Unhealed child will have guild itself to heal and recover the pain that the people around caused

Howdy hey! Gengar here to leave a review! I'm reviewing using the YWS S'more Method today!

Top Graham Cracker - What I Know

This poem is about a child who had some kind of trauma that never healed, and is expected to just carry on life as normal. This can be interpreted in many different ways.

Slightly Burnt Marshmallow - Room for Improvements

You may benefit from having stanzas in your poem, which may help separate ideas and make reading easier. (On yws, I think it doesn't let you have multiple enter spaces, so I think you have to put dashes or some kind of placeholder between stanzas). This knowledge base article goes more in depth about stanzas

Chocolate Bar - Highlights of the Piece

I really like the last four lines of the ending. They are really impactful and perfectly wrap up the piece:

Cause the child hides it so well it seems invisible

But deep inside its fighting demons a battle the constantly happens

Not a single of moment for the child to relax

Unhealed child will have guild itself to heal and recover the pain that the people around caused


This shows how the child finally realizes how nobody else in the world wants to help them, and how they can only rely on themself

Closing Graham Cracker - Closing Thoughts

Amazing poem! I hope my review could be helpful. I wish you a good day/night!
