Through a child's eyes
can one yet realize
that their innocence of youth
has been denied
that one's father
is a thief and liar
and one's mother
is an addict
that shares herself
with strangers
while one's told to
"turn your head and watch TV"
seated on a filthy s*** carpet
littered with
cigarette b***s
and dirty points
the sympathetic cannot disguise
the sorrow felt
and will shed tears
that the child may never them self
as they are thrust headfirst
into the harsh reality of life
