Why

overcoming incest

Why

 

I need to solve their problem

then all will be okay

I know they are unhappy

It must be my bad way

 

I try everything to please them

It doesn't seem to matter

Their fights are never ending

How can I stop thier batter

 

I need to save the children

Books become my friend

I'll gather lots of knowledge

and bring this madness to an end

 

I cannot save the children

I barely save myself

I cannot find the answer

from a book that's on the shelf

 

Many years of searching

and running from the truth

the answer isn't in my head

my body is the proof

 

It really is quite simple

I had no way to know

A child is not the parent

my heart can finally glow

Hmm...tragic. A good kind of "discovery" poem on a difficult topic. I might try to add some punctuation and get away from the rigid rhyme to add to it. Maybe give the point that incest has no rhyme or reason...just thoughts :)
