Despair of a Child

Her eyes blinking hate Or more like a bait Inferno in her breath Like Hades without a depth So hard she tried to keep herself from bursting Ten fingers clenched into a fist Hard as an iron and ready to twist Feet stomping like a rattle And mind disposed to battle “It is all your fault So detached and you have no heart” “I am sorry” in a most innocent voice Said the child in who is no vice “I did not know there would be a fire” All I ever wanted is to satisfy a desire Of having my parents back in my life All I ever wanted is an end to the strife

Well written, but sad poem...too much of this going on in the world as children inevitably become innocent victims.
