GREAT PRETENDERS
Broken children become great pretenders,
when adults forget to be their defenders,
tricked into evil and trapped by lies,
forcing the tears away from their eyes.
All trust in humanity is completely broken,
secrets and shame that cannot be spoken,
loyalty between parent and child is crushed,
intimidation and threats are silently hushed.
Mostly children never recover,
this darkness forever remains undercover,
aimlessly drifting through this life,
fighting for possessions with anger and strife.
