Failure to communicate
Failure to communicate
By jfarrell
When I brought the form home from primary school,
I was scared of being in trouble at school;
So, when my parents couldn’t be bothered to fill out the form,
I did it;
5 or 6 years old,
And my dad beat the crap outta me
Coz I couldn’t read or know what ‘bronchitis’ was.
My failing to communicate.
Paul, I can’t hold it anymore, we gotta stop -
It’s only another 6 feet -
BOOOM,
Bugger I dropped the shed wall.
My failing to communicate.
My keyworker is supplying me, a 12 year old boy,
With hardcore pornography and taking me out on special trips
To have sex with girls from other children’s homes;
Can I tell the officer-in charge?
Who’s last place of work was closed down amongst abuse allegations;
He was on the news.
My failing to communicate.
Might also explain why I have no close friends,
And I find people ‘difficult’; unexpectable;
I fail to communicate;
Or maybe, I see no-one to communicate to;
And the last time I did try to communicate,
The recipient couldn’t be bothered to listen…
Hmmm, my spider senses tell me,
There will always be more questions than answers.
