Anisha Dutta Poet Haiku

My Family

My Family

                  Peeping into past
               my reminiscence as child
                  displays dark shadow.

               Mom’s loud negligence
                 biased treat on my daily need
                      pricked my self- esteem.

                  But I was the pearl 
                      of my Dad’s hard core heart.
                     Grandma bestowed care.  

                    A girl needs her Mom.
                  Painful childhood wept and wept
                      being deep deprived.

                    A lone fighter fought
                        to get herself established
                                on satisfaction.

                     Got fair scope to build 
                        my own family yielding
                              all treasures of heart.

                     Two brave brilliant 
                            daughters were blessed by God.
                              I showed light to them.

                      They reached their goals
                           now having own families.
                                 I travel alone.

Connie Marcum Wong May 19, 2016 at 10:36 AM The most healing way to overcome a difficult childhood is to become the kind of parent you wish you would have had. I can relate. This is beautifully written Anisha. Congratulations on your win! # 7 ; )
