When did these all start?
How does a person
forget her origin
How does one
pick up bad things?
The sting of a sharp tongue
A vocabulary useless for wisdom
and consideration
The brunt of a fiery temper
A voicebox trained
to overthrow thunders
The cage of a lonely heart
Her mind trapped to focus only on one
Will all these be learned by her son?
All close around her
are bearing the consequences
of choices they did not make
Keeping broken shells
in their hearts
But who could hurt more than a mother?
