What?

What?

A Poem by therisa
"

How a parent can misread a child.

"

How am I

A total enigma

To you?


Having

Given birth

And raised me.


Yet

Not knowing

What my emotions

Are like

Or how I react.


As if

My very existence

Never happened.


Like

A Changeling

Who is

Returned back

To their birth

Family.
