Title: Childhood differences
You were raised on love
I was raised on survival
Can you really understand?
I scored a 9 out of 10 on the ACE
Adversive childhood experiences test
And that's not even half what I've been through.
Can you understand?
When you been raised on love..
How I'm always on edge
Why I fear conflict like the plague.
How can you when you've never felt
The danger close
The pain of abuse.
You probably won't notice the care I take
The way I tip toe around the house careful not to make a sound
How I rage with simple things
Communications so strange...
You talk to me with care
I don't get it I don't understand
When I make you mad why you speak so calm.
I don't understand when you compliment me
Say that I do well.
The gentleness in your actions
When I cry why do you comfort
Rather then laugh or cause me harm?
I don't understand you
You were raised on love.
I was raised on survival
Can we really understand each other
When we are worlds apart?
Note: it was a huge culture shock the group home. Thinking on that culture shock inspired this.
