Ms Oedipus

because daddy pulled your hair I pampered you saw the beauty in you too much I let it efface reason because you suffered, I let you play drama queen, and gave you the slack that I never enjoyed but all you want to do is play. because of your frailty I jumped in for the rescue enlisted a whole rescue team but you kept letting go rather than face the truth you gouged your eyes and told me that it’s impossible for you to see, you thought it was a good plea for temporary insanity but I know you better. too smart, little girl you see the layout of a puzzle before you place the first piece throw your eyes away but don’t use that as an excuse even the blind can take beautiful photographs.
