A Child Is Born: From Close Poem by Atef Ayadi

if I am a child
and I want to tell my parents
-do not argue about the term parents and how to be one-
how I need them
or what makes a bond
a bond:

I would
say
feed me,
clean me,

leave me where I made a mistake
or let me to do all the mistakes of this universe.

it is my business to make mistakes
I will learn the ''get over it'''
the ''let it go''
the ''do it until you fail, then you fail,
then you get frustrated, then you fix it or you fail again.''
if I am lost,
it is ok!

but i do not like to be
lost because you are lost and
pay for your losses and failures.

get over it!
