Child Trap


Time to wake

Time for school

Time to bake

 

Sleep, school, eat

Scheduled

Dictated

Prisoner to the cycle

Oh the life of a child

 

What fate does the future hold

I am an unpublished poet and have been writing for the past two years. I have many poems but am hesitant to share online but gladly share in person. I still write because of all those that have enjoyed reading my writing.
