Tantrum
September 12, 2018
Oh, you poor child,
The flowers which once adorned you now fall.
Your body twists and turns and contorts.
You throw a tantrum in dismay.
The shadowy wrath of your figure reflects upon my visage,
Your reason for anger unknown to me until you point ahead.
I hear some other voice filled with dread.
I see a woman collect a gleaming red letter.
Oh, you poor child,
Why must you cling to the symbol of your mother's shame?
