Children Don't Choose: Society Chooses Their Outcome For Them.
Born into a world of deception,
Embraced in a life of abuse,
Tormented by a state of abandonment,
Betrayed by parents of youth.
Destroyed by words of profanities,
Tortured without excuse,
Alone in a house of misery:
Torn, battered, and confused.
Compelled to a life of insignificance
With their endeavors never seen,
Their family — a false reality,
Alone with only their dreams.
Assaulted with no explanation
By parents who destroy with their hands;
A child bruised and broken
Can only dream of oceans and sands.
Alone in a world with no one,
Their voice never heard nor seen,
Locked in a room of obscurities,
Waiting for death to set them free.
Violence speaks to this child
With no escape to be seen.
Alone in this house of tragedy:
Withdrawn, suicidal, and unseen.
Children don’t choose their parents. Nor can they alter their outcomes. Some live lives filled with love and happiness. Others not so fortunate and face the harsh reality of abuse and despair. Society today turns a blind eye on those broken. They’re isolated, with no ear to hear their cries. Suicide answers their pain all too often. Another tragedy. Another soul lost to the recklessness of abuse.
They didn’t have a choice; we forced ours upon them. Next time you see anyone in pain or hurting, reach out. Bed the rock they can lay their troubles on. And maybe you may have saved their life in the process.
