Dear Mommies and Daddies
keep killing your babies
for not fitting in
then hate them
for becoming the monsters in your mirror
Kill your babies with rejection
then hate them
for sticking needles in their trembling arms
searching for the warmth you never gave
Kill your babies with silence
with backhands and cold shoulders
then hate them
for drinking themselves numb
just to forget your voice
Kill your babies for not being perfect
for crying too loud
for dreaming too strange
then hate them
for overdosing on the pills
you taught them to swallow
Kill your babies with neglect
then hate them
for becoming abusers themselves
echoes of your rage
in smaller, shaking hands
Kill your babies for being
the reflections of your own failures
then hate them
for getting locked behind bars
you forged in your home
Kill your babies
then hate them for killing you
kill your babies
then hate them for killing each other
kill your babies
then mourn them
when they finally kill themselves
