The words of change

Self-esteem
Self-worth
These words have meaning beyond everything
These words can change the feeling of self
These words and their meanings change and fade
As a person develops through each stage
I'm not sure if they realise when these words are repeated
The meaning
The impact
Self-esteem
Self-worth
Rise
Fall
The words of change

The Memory

The memory was hidden from all
Locked behind a giant wall
I told not a soul
To keep all safe
And so the wall grew and ivy doth protect the place
One soul is told
The wall crumbled
The memory floods out
Infecting my thoughts
How does it happen
A betrayal of trust
A child used
It wasn't rough but the shame is enough
It turns inwards as anger
Inwards as pain
The invisible scars are still there
And will always remain
Hurt from the inside causes hurt on the out
How can this happen
From one you did trust
