Leave Your Door on the Latch

i suffered as a child
but the suffering forges us
across the anvil of life
strikes whilst it is hot
and sometimes you have to fight
just so you are not forgot
i struggled as a child
and I found words hit home
so try and take it away
and I will take you alone
i suffered as a child
but that’s the make up I wear
the personality mix and match
of love, hope and despair
leave your door on the latch
and I will be there
