A Promise Made Poem by neo riddick

There I was just getting some fuel for my 1000. Took my helmet off and found my reason to live. Such a beautiful, intelligent, wonderful Lil girl was standing a few feet away. We spoke for a bit. I could feel the pain she had endured for many years before this day. From that day on, I became her mentor. She became mine as well. So much hidden under an old hoody and horrid shoes. Her soul glowed with such promise.... My heart was about to seize. Years have passed now. I have stood by her as a mentor. I have been the voice of voice of reason. Teaching my 'child' the words of Freud. The spine chilling words from Maya. Still, learning that no matter what my age, My dear child has a glowing soul. Like that of non that I have ever seen. I made a promise that I would never pass on to the next realm until my 'child' was educated and provided for. So, here I am in limbo. There is no escape. A very uncertain future is what I see. Humble is what my 'child' became before she was thrown into the system again. Always respecting the ways of a 'flighty teen'. Her tragic life has torn me to a million bits. Why Why Why.......TELL ME NOW! ! Why is an innocent girl's life just thrown to the pits. I can not leave this realm. STUCK. I want to give up. Please bring the glowing beauty back to me in a safe place. With every word I write, I dropp a million tears. A million fears. A PROMISE WAS MADE. Sun will shine on the pure. The Innocent. The future. If I fail. I am not worthy of HER shade
