Little hands reaching out. Wanting what? A cuddle? A mindset bent on keeping busy. Sweet hands, pushed away. Another time. Boisterous voices. Questioning, always questioning. Bright eyes, excited smile. Too much. Too loud. Too many questions. Beautiful voices silenced. Another time. Defective? Unworthy? Unable? Love is so deep, but the mindset locks it in. Chained by what? Turning away. Another is desired. Wanted. Little hands reach for the spare. Sweet voices cry when taken away. The unworthy desires to be more. To be better. But emotions locked, shut down. Trauma from the past? An insufficient upbringing? Defective? Thoughts for another time......
