there's hunger and hunger
one will be filled soon
the other gnaws forever
in a broken blue moon
I thirst for a love
that never shall be
the love of parents was
always denied to me
Hid with no one seeking
Lost and forever unfound
to transparent self-image
I'm quintessentially bound
That's how I see me
hidden in plain sight
don't know why or how
kept blinded by dark light
Mrs. Cellophane by name
and I can see right thru
clearly no point to me
Can you see thru me too?
All my innards on view
faults and failings on display
Vulnerabilities exposed
to the sun's burning ray
Where are the parents
with the hat and sunscreen
to protect the little child
making sure she's safe and seen?
