Mind Games

Mind Games
Entered into with ignorance
By a child wearing
Scruffy clothes and
Holding a treasured bear.

Played upon by
Adults who should know
Better, but
Don't
And, Using their
Weapons

Hurt,
Maim,
And Scar
The child, for
The rest of
His Life.

Please don't
Let them
Do it to me
Anymore.
