-Cut The Cord- by Keaton Foster

*Vignette5* *Vignette5* *Vignette5* *Vignette5* *Vignette5*


Cut the cord
Break the noose
Shatter the idea
Let nothing stand
Destroy all chance
Make it certain
Dare not tell me
Keep your words home
Gaze upon your nothing
A true masterpiece of creation
Just as quick, a new rendition
Life, such a consequential condition
Easily you left me to my own defenses
A mechanism of survival kicked in
You mouthed the words, "so be it!"
Infant or not, a true sense of doom found me
Absolute, aware, everything so very clear
Go back out into the cold
Leave me as a child unknown
Dare not call me son
Refer to me only as a mistake
Leave my life in your wake
Force me to change from the first day
Being born of your blood is no right
I am well aware of such hypocrisy
God gave you such a child to protect
Your chance to start over
Easily you decided to refuse
Damn that woman to hell
Is what others will say
Not me
Forgiveness is all that can be
Anger solves absolutely nothing
In a pseudo way, you taught me that
Mother of life
Father not known
Do what you need
I will continue to survive
This gift is the greatest of curse
So I have allowed it to seem
A significant mistake made on my part
A mistake that I have begun to change
I know that you have remained the same
Death has done nothing to ease such pain
Suffer as you must
These hands are clean
I am your child
But not your son
Cut the cord
Is the only words
That I ever heard you say
With clarity, with authority
Compassion disguised as need
Thank you for that
And thank you for nothing else…
