"Childhood"

The cold bitter snow of childhood
So alone, so afraid
Someone please hold on to me
Don't let go
Sometimes you wonder
Will I ever get big and strong?
Then when you do grow
You feel so small and childlike
Where is the comfort I should have had?
I've never known
How I long to go back and start
All over, Differently
Would it change if it could?
I think not!
It's circumstances, not choice
