Another smack <br />I start to bleed <br />As a child of ten <br />Is this what I need <br /> <br />I can't wait <br />For the time to sleep <br />I know then <br />That it's safe to weep <br /> <br />Feathered pillow <br />Can't feel my pain <br />And for me, the hurt <br />I feel <br />Is hard to explain <br /> <br />I thought mommies <br />Were supposed to love <br />And not be vultures <br />That strike from above <br /> <br />Can't she see <br />I've done nothing wrong <br />Or is this the meaning <br />Of tough love<br /><br />Matt Mondschein<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/feathered-pillow/
