 BE STILL 

my child.
Let me remind you,

what is spoken and said.
Your hopes and dreams,
they must be bled.

 

Be a good little Girl,

who loves me back,

as I pretend to care.

Your dress is all filthy,

with lice in your hair.

 You've left me,

 a disgusting mess.

I'll wash out the vomit.

A dirty mouth

 needs Bleach,

 and a good dose of Comet.

 

It's okay my darling.
You'll heal with the pain.
FEEL

this needle and thread.
My precious...

precious thing.

 

You need a hug?

Here's a good squeeeeeeze.

 

Soft skin and bones,

to love and to hold.

Why do you wrestle?

We need to

cut/deep,

don't put up a tussle.

Purge and be empty,
only guilt can you keep.

 

 

** Shhhhh **

Don't cry....
peace be with you.
It's just the skin peeling back.

Your world will
feel safe, when it finally
converts BLACK.

 

 

Author's Note

Please don't pass judgement on me. My inspiration is sincere, even if it's a bit dark for some. My daughter was very ill recently, and I was sleeped deprived on top of it all. I could not stand looking at her, she looked so ill, and she was desperate to feel better. And for some reason or other; I started thinking about the Mothers that harmed their own children on purpose....to get attention. Better known as Munchausen Proxy Syndrome. It made me SICK, thinking about it. This writing came from these thoughts, and from my own broken child hood. I often feel like the little girl being sqeezed to death in this picture. There are so many forms of abuse out there. And I think this form of abuse is the sickest of them all. It's both emotional and physical. FYI, my daughter is well now, but it was a week of ugly emotions for me.

I too am a father,
I understand the mentality behind this. I also see a bit the true darkness within. Not to say you would harm your child or any child, but as to say there are those you would harm if the reasons were right or the time appropriate. I am impressed at how freely you throw yourself into the arms of your concept. You truly exist within it even if only temporarily, I can't say how temporarily. No, that's a piece for another time. I see a 2... 3... 4... sliding into a five. This is ever so haunting. thanks for the suggest I love it.
Sincerely

P.s. Loving this line for the sheer grit, literally.

"A dirty mouth
needs Bleach,
and a good dose of Comet."

You sicken me, in all the right ways.

ache...she pushed me over the edge two years ago with a mystery illness...I was starting to get scared that the school might start accusing me of something terrible. With sleep deprivation..worry...it inspired this dreadful writing.

[Muse]

I consulted with a friend before sharing this...I was scared of being judged.

[unsavable_soul]

This I greatly understand,
But someone wise recently told me to push the envelope. I agreed and the result I dare say is TRUE ART. Always in love with your works thus far.

This poem describes so much in just a few words what so many people go through. It's so sad and sick that this happens to people. You've written this so well.

[Michael X]

I came for the experience and left with an inspiration. The depth is astonishing and form to boot! loved it. Dark.

[Art Sun]

how sad...it just doesn't make sense that children must go through this kind of abuse that you speak of...but I guess the reality is that it is almost epidemic within this world...nice work on this poem and this subject of abuse...

[MAC]

major ((hugs)) how did i miss this one. this is what poetry is for...reality blends with emotions and the words that form in your heart. i find this piece amazing. Poe would be proud and so am I, proud to know such a deep and talented writer such as you. again ((HUGS and Love)) Glad your little girl is better.

[M Garcia]

This was written amazingly well. Those women make me SICK too and I think they should be taken out and shown what real pain is all about!

[Ubiquitous]

This write is full of emotion, and I love it! The rhymes are amazing. I love your writing style. The sincere thoughts matched with the serious, almost demonic tone creates the perfect flow. I'm glad your daughter is well again.

[Dream Weaver]

Very intense and very real...sleep deprivation has not only physical but mental effects as well. Plus it makes for what I like to call abstract poetry...Glad your daughter is much better...

[Samantha ~virginpoet]

Glad to hear your daughter is better.
