Poisoned Womb Poem by Sincair Farrell

Loveless seeds planted in
A Poisoned womb
Poison dripping from a heart
Battered and bruised

To a womb
Springing forth damaged fruits
Regrettably produced

A baby born into coldness
Crying out
In distress
For love it needs
Helplessly it is left

Like a plant not watered
A child unwanted
Unloved & sorely neglected
Arms out for a hug
Pushed away and rejected
Faced with resentment
At their presence

A child growing up
Plagued by hate
Desperate to be hugged
Abandoned to rot
They become rotten to the core

A cruel fate
They were dealt
From a poisoned womb
They stemmed
Ruined by the poison
Left with an empty heart
A blank soulless expression in their eyes
Because of a rotten childhood.
