Imperfect Child

Why didn’t you show mercy on your daughter?
Knowing from the start you should never
have committed the crime.
I curse you for the damage you left.
Shame you didn’t the truth.

Sadly my angel was never believed;
too young to speak up for herself.
I trusted you with my precious gift,
you returned her with many scars.
Fearful images now dance behind her eyes,
so haunted from the past.

Layers began to rot away to reveal your inner self.
Thinking you were a genius to spin a web of tales
as you raise your fists and kick your feet
to constantly vent your rage.
You even pushed her down.
                
She thought she made a mistake.
When I told her she hadn’t
her eyes always glaze with tears.
Even a hug makes her flinch with fear.
Leaving us both to piece together fragments
of our shattered lives.

We’ll never trust you again.
With a clearer perspective on life
and a pain that is not so sharp,
we prefer only the easy things in life.
Pure and simple love.
She has conquered all her fears and 
progresses through life with a smile.

Thank God you are not in our lives.
