Eugene S.

Bereft

Before I could even understand
Everything this world would offer
Removal from society, is where I land
Endentured, enslaved and beaten
Fraught with fear and damned
To remain forever cheated

Blinded by walls surrounding
Envious of the world outside
Remiss of respect - so demanded
Ever aware of whose house I reside
Forgotten, freely reprimanded
To submit until my utter demise

Bravery would slowly take root
Ending the acquiescence
Rejection would soon follow suit
Enhancing a running license
From there on, would try to reboot
Then remove the childhood sentence
