She’s thrown to the floor
By someone sworn to
Protect her,
In front of her classmates,
Who understand what’s
Really going on and how
It could be them,
And has already been the
Relative they visit
Once in a while,
Labeled early on as
Troublemakers who deserve
To be penned and forgotten.
This is so painful to read because of its truth…
Thank you for your comment, Eliza. I feel the same way. Sincerely, Guy.
