Seek refuge

A Child's Abuse

A mother's love

Is

Everlasting

Always

The front row

Seat

While embracing

Her

Concert ticket

Except

The performance

Is

Lost

Vibrating fear

As

Her heart

Issues

An Amber alert

Searching

After school

Programs

Nowhere

For

Attendance

Only

Her child

Is partially

Found

Drugged

On corners

Like

The finger

Caught

Gradually

Wiping

Each tear

Tough love

They say

Each smack

Across the face

For

Joking

About Oscar

So

Ridiculed

By color

As fashion

Continues

To

Coordinate

Exclaims

I await

Surely

A mother's womb

Regrets

To harness

Clamped down

Holding

It's

Umbilical

Do not

Leave me

For

The other side

It plugs

Fears

Tragically

A Fire hazard...
