Andy DW Poet Rhyme

The spare

What ever you imagine a spare to be
Their only purpose is a guarantee
Manipulated from day one
Not wanted but the back up son
Just being born to facilitate 
No argument no debate
Just being made into a reprobate 
No curses no swearing
No talking no fighting 
No elbows on the table
Just a passion to disable
No choices no freedom
Just silence until they are done

I wait I pray
Hoping I put on the correct display
No laughter no movement
Only never ending judgement 
No way to express my contempt inside
Another reason to run and hide
What ever the demand
You must understand
It is not you it’s the life they made
A choice they choice to degrade
They make up lies 
For everyone that applies
To make you look terrible
Then make you comparable 
The outside never sees
The cruelty with ease
A trapped terrified boy
Who has little joy
The expectation to be grateful
And feel shameful
Trapped and isolated
Behind closed doors violated 
No one sees no one cares
Just property of theirs
Violently attacked to keep me in line 
Forcing me to resign
To being the spare
