Held Prisoner

Inspired by Moonwashed Weekly Prompt – Hospitality &
Reena’s Xploration Challenge #315

if only you would have afforded
the wounded inner child
the hospitality it deserved

trauma that needed nurture
saw minimal healing
shocking independence reigned
to the detriment of your essence

years upon years cycled by
as the dysfunction learned
predetermined the outcome
of the next generation
to be lost

  5. It’s so sad when that happens, and it seems to happen in secret too often. But I like it that now more and more people are exposing this abhorrent hideous disservice done to the weak children put in their care. Such people are a shame to society. What’s done to them comes back and affects us all. Thanks for sharing this, Susi. Great with the prompt. Blessings.
