Not to say no one does any wrong

Why are accidents so difficult to let go?

Why is a child behaving childishly discouraged so?

It is so forbidden to be weak and helpless

It is so selfish to want attention

Submission is cowardice

Misunderstanding is consent

Confusion is acceptance

A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

You were not wanted

We do not love you

You were so much better

From conception to birth we are always perfect

But because you were guided by naïveté

Because you buckled under the pressure of fear

Because you had the temerity to make a mistake you are worthless now

You are a disappointment

You are a coward

You are a failure

And we could do so much better given another chance which means this is not on us

This is not how we raised you

We have no idea what happened to you but we judge you mercilessly

Because we are afraid

And we are locked in something horrid and illogical

Denial
