Lately I have been inspired to write poems about my dreams. A couple nights ago, I had a dream about staying with this family that consisted of a mother, her son, and his step dad. Though I did not actually see anything happen in my dream I somehow knew that this little boy was being molested by his step dad. It was like I saw this boy literally crying, for help, yet his mother just sat there in her kitchen drinking. I wanted to speak up and tell her or say something, anything, but the words would not come out of my mouth. I don’t know what came over me, but I woke up crying. Tears were falling down my face, almost as though, they were the tears of the little boy. I don’t know if this poem is any good, but I do know it’s a lot more meaningful than most of the poems I’ve written. Hope you like it! Can you really be so blind Does a mother not have instinct Don’t you sense the silent crime How can you just sit there, and drink A child, your only son Cries alone under his cover Now what has your husband done Guess you’re not his only lover Please, wake up; wake up, I beg Cuz his tears flow down our faces Crimpled with a broken leg He can’t run to other places Our child, your only son The world’s only youth forgotten Now what has his step dad done Turned his soul icky and rotten Do you turn the other way Pretend the pain was never there While this boy is not okay Suffering and no one cares The children, your only son Crying out, though they feel ashamed Now what have their parents done Letting them carry, all the blame Open your eyes and mouths I plead; say what needs to be said Even if you need to shout Lift up the voices in your head Our children, your only son Lay helpless on their shattered hearts Just look at what has been done Speaking up is where it all starts With God I am happy; sadness has no say in my life.
