Genie Feral Child A victim of severe abuse, neglect Left alone in social isolation Subjugated in darkness to reflect Suffocating ultimate frustration Internal anguish, no consolation Father, shamed of my subnormality Kept me locked away from reality Thirteen years, strapped into a child’s toilet Or bound in my crib from humanity Forbid anyone near and to forget 5/14/2016 for the contest :Sad Dizain Sponsored by: Laura Loo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genie_(feral_child)
