I understand now. <br />I am an inconvenience. <br />Beneath the carpet. <br /> <br />And you, my mother, <br />you walk within his shadow <br />so who are you, then? <br /> <br />You've chosen wisely, <br />it really never matters <br />your word means nothing. <br /> <br />I'd always reckoned <br />that truth would be the winner <br />I am so sorry.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/defeat-haiku/
