THE HATE YOU GIVE
By: Sikolwethu Mthethwa 

Shed a tear for the kids who never had a compassionate witness to all their pain
Caregivers quick to label them  dramatic or insane
Shed another tear for kids whose attempts to impress their guardians  were in vain
So they Decided to curl up and "stay in their lane" 

Without empathy and compassion can we be sensitive to the pain of others?
A strong message to the dismissive mothers and fathers
Nothing is more dangerous than a child that wonders:
"Do my parents even love me? "
"Why does everyone else seem to be above me? "


Thoughts that leave em broken and insecure
Dont ever be too busy to ask if they're okay until you're sure. 
Coz neglect pierces the spirit to very the core


And if you spot withdrawal
Keep the suspense of drug use at a minimal 
Do away with blaming outside influence
Rush to the rescue before they lose their innocence 

Approach swiftly but softly 
Be sincere and immerse yourself wholly 
In the struggles and pain of your child 
Know that to them their struggles are anything but mild
Listen actively without passing harsh judgments
Your words of comfort are never to be just cold statements 

Be tender and gentle
For your aim should be to mend and not dismantle 
In your presence your child should feel secure 
Smother them with unconditional love until their heart is no longer sore
With goodness in their heart They will once again be pure


Know that a parent can always do more 
To support, love and guide their kids as they grow 
For nothing compensates for consistent emotional support...
