How Many Lies

Splats of red take the plunge,
Right below her screaming eyes 
Tarnishing her white pillow case 

A foster mother in rage 
Cheese grader, as if that is the solution

Time truth conquers over her gripped hands
Dizzy in fear, she takes the child

Hides the truth behind those white walls
And leaves her 

Not one look back

Disenchantment, rage, confusion, lies; now here is where real art shows its ugly head. Im impressed. If I had to guess, the white walls are a psych ward, which is a place I am somewhat familiar with. Anyway, keep writing the truth.
