Enate She was supposed to love me Look forward to my coming Cherish my existence Adore my helpless Little hands She was supposed to love me Thrill to see me To hear my cry Make eye contact And ever praying I would be okay She was supposed to treasure That which I am That which I was That which she born Into this world She was supposed to accept me Her little boy Her little love Just as I was Just as I was… She was supposed to want me Love me Accept me Adore me Or so… One would think No... I was her curse Her great burden Her useless trash Her pathetic, helpless Unwanted Little child I was her execration Object of despair The one cause For all her trouble For all her pain… Yet She was supposed to love me… By God! She was supposed to love me! Just love Just accept… But… My helpless little form My helpless tiny life She didn't even want So why? Why bring me here? Why? I just don't understand I can't understand… Why… |

Is Enate suppose to be Innate? If so you capture that feeling well in this. Innate : to be born in, originate in; natural; inborn; not acquired Gloom |

nope, the title's right. look it up. it's a little known word. this poem is three years old or so, spent 30 minutes writing the poem, 60 more touching it up, and 5 days finding the title. |

I relish words that make me look them up, or for them [my 1957 Webster's did not contain this word] so you are going to become one of my favorites, I can tell... you make me think! |
