Blame it on the kids,
Because forbid
The wrongdoing
Of viewing
The parents
As a reckless interference
To a child's existence

Causing pain to cut
The gut
Of a human being
Who is living and breathing
With just words so simple
That will make your heart kindle

You put them in a bubble
And that's why they struggle
You'll never understand
Until you feel banned
From your own home
And your mind is the only place you can roam

Don't pretend
That they can tie the loose end
Of all your torment
That went
Straight to their head
That wanted them dead
