FORGOTTEN
immersed within
dark-rooted anger
a mother’s love
is substituted
for violence and rage
within herself
little girl searches
for sanctuary
dreaming of a better life
and hoping for
love and kindness
her mind drifts
inside fuzzy warm
memories when her father
was alive and showed her love
but as she cowers
from her mother’s rage
she is painfully reminded
that she is lost and forgotten

this is a deep and moving poem with much depth to it
violence against a child is so tragic and is even more tragic when it comes from a mother
thank you for the bravery of this poem
