The childhood they lost
they tried to give
it was flawed
and sometimes a pain
and it makes it hard
hard to remember
what they tried to give
they never had
all that is enjoyed
from the fruit of their labor
sometimes fraught with holes
and sharp points
remnants from a trauma
that is never processed
only ironed over
for the sake of another day
a better day.
