Character trait

I don't know about you, but I have always wanted to write a book. I'm just one of those people that does not seem to have the time for the sort.

The other day I wrote this poem as you could say a character in a book. The emotions that they would experience. 

I hope you enjoy it...

Victim

Standing alone

As a victim

Can anyone truly understand

Is the cry going out

A cry of

Abandoned once

abandoned always

Trust

How can I trust

When I feel abandoned so

So the victim cries

Never getting close

For fear of abandonment

Trust that never grows

The longing for love

But the fear to get close

The rather of being without

Than facing again abandonment

So the victim stands

Alone

So alone

 In pain she cries out

Yet those who stop to listen

Never understand

Will there

O will there

Ever be one

 who truly understands

So the cry goes out

Days turn into weeks

Weeks into months

But nobody seems

To care or notice

The ones supposed to be there

Never seem to care

They punish anger

Which really was a cry

Help me, I am a victim

For me to understand alone

So they cry

With every second breath

They feel like a shell

The real me killed

This is just my body

Living this lie

I can't help the way

I act toward you

This is not me

Just my shell

That was left behind

The wound is deep

They cry

O they cry

The wound is so deep

Anger and silence

Flashing out of a person

Who is just a shell

Trying to show

They are wounded inside

So punishment comes

The wound grows deeper

Until

Someone sees the real person

Someone breaks the pain

Send me that someone

The victim cries out

Before it's too late

Someone who sees who

I want to be

Who I really am

Not just this shell

Someone who brings joy

Joy and understanding

So great that the wound

May just begin to heal

A healing through great love

An understanding heart

To show that you are priceless

That abandonment won't come

So trust can build

It's self again

A relationship a new

So while the wound

Is still there

Joy and peace

Will shine through.
