Click hereYour Daddy liked the bottle,
and Mama did too;
your Daddy hit your Mama
'til she was black and blue!
There was FuSSiN'!
There was FiGhTiN'!

But the hole in your heart,
would prove biggest of all...
Now your life is a reflection,
a mirror of your past,
with utter rejection
for those you have cast
as players in rolls;
those little souls
looking up to you!
And WhAt do YoU do?!?!
Why, let hubby beat you!
And in MANY ways treat you,
with the cruel love you recall;
for after all,
it is all
you know
of love!.!...
That KiD gLoVeS
are seldom worn!!
And so with scorn,
you seek something
for nothing
from someone
long gone
from your life ~
to cause them strife
or share your own;
since you've known
nothing more, in your mind,
to be so unkind
seems quite fair to you!
I'm certain this is true,
as sure as
I live and breathe;
this I believe!

LeBrozover 17 years agoNicely done, weird spacing and characters and all;
It adds to the horrific situation you describe,
Where everything that's normal is not.
SeattleRainabout 20 years agoI think the crazy spacing and lines add to the chaos of the subject
Rybkaabout 20 years agoI believe that how/where you place words on a page is important. But as friends and critics are ALWAYS telling me, don't use special spacing, characters, or capitalization unless it adds to the work. I don't see where they do in this poem. >?(((><
