She Betrays Herself

“SHE BETRAYS HERSELF” yesterday, she was awake. yesterday, she could see. yesterday, she could talk, yesterday, she could walk, yesterday, she could run, yesterday, Child Protective Services called to talk to her and she cried. yesterday, Child Protective Services came to the house and she was scared. yesterday, she had no one but me. yesterday, she sat next to me while I watched television, ate with me and we even shared a cigarette. yesterday, Child Protective Services called themselves off and now she’s calm. today, she left to meet up with her kid’s dad… one of them anyway. she’s taken a feeling for him again and I guess he reciprocated. today, she came back, she’s blind, she’s got no voice, she walks away, she runs away. today, Child Protective Services is a joke to her. her tears are gone and she’s forgotten fear. today, she’s gotten her dose of attention, her deadliest addiction. today, she needs no friend for television, food or cigarettes. Child Protective Services is a distant memory and now, she’s got a new friend to play with. today, the chip on her shoulder rids her of being any type of human at all. By: Chicano Eddie 7-28-2016
