Do you hear it?
That baby crying.
It's maddening to hear its screech.
Quickly someone break its teeth.

Prevent its speech.

Do you love your child?
The one who's weeping.
Maybe it's just a little break.
Perhaps it'll only leave her mind opaque.

Simply just a quake.

Do you even see it?
The girl who's giving out.
She'll give anyone a rush to their money.
Even if it makes her feel a little funny.

Make their day sunny.

Do you even know her anymore?
That isolated shell of a woman.
Her mind is overturned and crowded with thoughts.
The very thing she was supposed to keep under lock.

Hiding in the aftershock.

Do you know what's wrong with her?
All you've done is neglect her.
You refused to show her the gifts of the world.
No wonder she no longer breathes the light of the pure.

There is no known cure.
I wrote this in the lens of family. It's not really about me, but more like my experiences shaped it.
