Childhood is a dream
It’s not understanding
And not needing to.
Childhood is the metal part
Of my dads belt
It’s not being good enough to be his son.
Childhood is not being noticed
Because you’re too young to understand
Too young to need help
It’s being…
Ignored
Neglected
Abused
Alone
It’s watching you mom scream,
Because she’s not big enough…
To do anything else.
