Daddy ? Where is Mommy ?

I could never escape the dark places
you dragged me
I could never focus the open door
because your crazy eyes used to distract me

I could never trust mine
because I had to trust your hands
I could never fit in society
because your jealous soul never gave me a chance

I could never enjoy silence
because you were persuaded to scream
by your lost mind

I could never go my own way
because you prevented it
by always being by my side

I could never imagine
how it would be
not to be repressed

I could never stop worrying
until I just stabbed a dagger
in your chest

this sounds like my father when I was young. when I grew up, married and had children, I was adamant to treat my children differently. a good rapport of friendship with your kids is the best way to raise them.
well done F.G. I like this. very relatable.

Overall, I found this a little hard to follow & interpret as a cohesive whole. But I found many of your ideas powerfully vivid & deeply meaningful, especially the detailed examples of being oppressed. From the title, I was reading this as being from a child's point of view. I think that's where it felt a little confusing. Becuz at the end, it appeared to be from an adult's point of view.

Domestic abuse. A reality for so many, sadly.
Good work.

Thank you! Glad you read it!

ah yes, that kind of abusive relationship...and she will probably be acquitted based on justifiable homicide...i would hope...

any part of a couple who does this to the other deserves to be alone---we have to be partners, but not chained...
