Is love professional
in a professional way
I love these children
helping them
understanding
how to heal their trauma
noticing the times they can learn
from the times to just listen
and how important this distinction is
I used to miss my family
then I missed my friends
now
like hot coals glow
on my heart
society breathes on
After I awake
struggle to be
before them
I only miss my daughter
that is where
the emptiness
where my heart
once was beating
but most of all
I miss myself
before I was forced
to miss my daughter
like this
consoling children
with their pains and traumas
due to the negligience
of a Child Trafficking Agency
while CTA/DCF forces me
to trust them
with my heart
that which is a heart
that is the most powerful heart
they have ever tempted to remove
