Lost and Confused Thoughts (Poetry)
-Legacy, by the Anonymous Girl
A child has seen
a person bleed;
burn out her eyes
to save her.
A child has heard
a dirty word;
cut off his ears
to fix him.
A child has said
a little lie;
break off his tongue
to cleanse him.
burn them,
cut them,
break their will,
it all will help
in the end.
They'll grow,
and change,
and finally be
all that we want them
to be.
Just as we have
raised them, they shall be
our legacy;
burn,
cut,
break.
