Should a child crave death
From the age of ten
Should a child attempt seven times
Before even turning thirteen
Should a child believe they have no value
Because of what their "parents" say
Should that child think of themselves
As less than human
Should they think themselves unworthy of life
Should they be unable to cry
For it makes them seem weak
Should they bottle their emotions
And become unstable
Should their house not be a home
For it's unsafe
Should they take the blame
For all that goes wrong
Should they almost drown
For no one cared to save them
Should they be forced to believe
In a god that hates them
Should all of their value be defined by another
Should they not be able to trust
Lest others use what they say against them
Should they be broken
To the point of not being human
Should their broken pieces
Be further shattered
By neglect and suffering
