I didn't get my childhood..❤️ I didn't get my childhood because trauma took it before I even understood what was happening. I was busy surviving while others were laughing and playing. I learned how to be strong before I learned how to feel safe. I worried when I should have been dreaming. I stayed alert when I should have been carefree. I carried fear, sadness, and responsibilities that were never meant for a child, and that part of me still feels tired sometimes..❤️
