Interest

In the Best Interests of…

The child

not just in the squatters behind

where the benign abuse is tossed aside daily routine

but in the high walled houses

where that little one

still needs that love and security

the walls façade

it’s not enough

they have nowhere else to look

the filter of the frowns and innuendo’s

is open when they are so small

look to the child drawing

happy family

hand placements temporarily normal

law bound

consider little world fence

close to the bone nailed interests

the mothers

let them speak about that image

that bubble of beyond tired it’s okay

the many lines of perfection

crossed, to the other side of

nothing

let them scream and say no

enough

help

to the fathers

let them be humbled past that ego

let the history page image

the frowned on talking about feeling

go

for once and all

in the world of it’s okay

between the falling from survival

meet the confidence to

be yourself

in the best interests

of everyone.
