Me and my baby
When I have children, I will be careful with the words I use,
I will not speak without thinking,
Without weighing my words.
Because I know what can happen, I
I know how sensitive children are,
How much words hurt,
Leading to hatred towards someone.
Because no one deserves contempt,
From a family member,
I don't deserve bullying from a parent,
I don't deserve it.
Sorry if I was a chubby child,
Sorry if I wasn't as thin as you wanted,
Sorry if I didn't have a flat stomach,
But you were never there.
So you don't deserve an apology, but I do.
My inner child deserves a hug from you,
a sincere compliment from you,
and a father figure.
She deserves your apology, not me.
