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
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
