Love out of obligation is not love at all. Not if you expect those you’re suppose to love to crawl. Like parents who raise their children just to throw them head first in to walls.
They do the bear minimum for their children and look for any attempt to make them feel small. Staying married to someone out of obligation even though it’s the love you can’t recall. And returning to a man who will make you look like you’ve been in a back ally brawl.
Defending him and telling those who want to help you that you had a bad fall. Forever leaving you to take those repeated falls. And eyes so swollen over from a beating you won’t recall.

interesting format. i liked the flow of it. very though-provoking.
good luck. -
wow this was very thought-provoking!! Although I will say that there wasn't a lot of hate that I felt, it was more sorrow than hate. but the poem was still well-written anyways

"Like parents who raise their children just to throw them head first in to walls."
I live in New Zealand, and at the moment a case is going to trial over a mother and her friends who killed her baby by, among other things, putting her on the clothesline and spinning it until she fell off.
That line reminded e of that case... this is an amzing write; well done and thankyou for entering.

I once heard an argument that the government should censure who could and who could not have children. It is something that could never be enforced. But when I think of the hell me, my brother, my sister, and my mother endured and about that child you were talking about. It’s enough evidence to make someone think twice.
Thanks for reading
