Petals In The Grass

Eyes Not For Crying

Disenchantment
Ficticious smiles
Cruelty from the beginning
Prolonged exposer
To dysfunction
Dysfunctional
Am I
Distant and remote
I remove myself from others
Writing senseless words

Premeditated actions
Delibirate abuse
Taught not to cry
From the pain endured
They made it clear
Treating animals better
At least this boy was clothed

Acts that went unpunished
This middle aged man stands naked
No one to hold
Searching in silence
For purpose
Burdens are many
Detached from societal norms
Still broken
