...AND MORE MISERY.

Just going through

the daily motions

of parenthood

because you have to

leaves a child in isolation

no care no nurturing

no examples being set

ignorance is not bliss

neither is being ignored

untold apprehension

unimaginable fears

a daily diet of despair

Being kept in emotional poverty

deprived of the things

that pertain to life

and the pursuit of joy

forced to lie

forced to steal

unrestrained guilt

and more misery.
