the awakening

Oh bloody fate!
Once again another child in pain.
Once again another try from the parents to hide it,a try in vain.
Oh bloody hate!

Mother and Father..who are you to throw despiteous looks on the families on TV -
Because they hit and hurt each other?
You tell your child that those families are unsocial and that good parents don't fight.
But you aren't any better.
Being an adult doesn't mean that you're always right.

Oh bloody hell !
The child saw the slap Dad gave Mum.
As well as the shoe which Mum threw after Dad.
The child also heard Mum's sobs and saw her tears.
Saw Dad trembling of shock and drinking his shame away with another beer.
Oh dear!

Wake up little child,life is no TV show or Nintendo game.
Life is always untamed.
Bringing you days of sorrow,joy and pain.
Don't blame yourself for not being perfect,because nobody is and it's no shame.
Wake up little child,we're all just like figures of chess,
In this mess.

Dear child,don't hate on your parents for their mistakes,you won't be able to handle anything flawless either.
Dear child,if you can forgive them this is the biggest caress-
Which you can give them.

Keep on dreaming little child,as long as you can,as long as you're young.
Because when you grow up there will be much less fun.
Wake up little child,life is like a puzzle.
Until you found all the right pieces there will be a lot of crap to guzzle.

Wake up little child,learn from your parents' mistakes -
Try become a better person than them in some way,to reach your best-
Whatever it takes.

Hello xBadWolf,

Such a true and emotionally packed poem. It flows well but there are some spots that you seem to have forced a rhyme or two. I don't think the rhyme really matters for this piece, it is fantastic in its truth and hypocracy of parenthood. Excellent work.

Regards,

Matthew

Hey up Matthew Kult,
Thank you very much for this big compliment.
Yeah I guess I should get myself used to the fact that poems don't always need to rhyme :)
But to be honest I still gotta learn a lot, yet I'm just an 'apprentice' ,ha ;)
Though, I'm trying my best to improve permanently.
Anyways, I appreciate the fact that you like my poem.

Thanks again,

xBadWolf
