Troubled Child Poem by chris dawson

Troubled Child



Do you understand the pain you cause,
do you really care,
can you justify your actions when
you calculate what’s fair.
Do you bury any feeling,
dismiss empathy,
stay shielded from emotion,
from base humanity,
Or does this new addiction
transcend and set you free,
numb and dull your senses
to escape from what you see.
You’ve got to feel the hurt you cause,
you’ve got to have some feeling,
and balance up the pros and cons
throughout your daily dealing.
Or maybe I have got it wrong,
you’re hard and cold and deep,
for should I cause distress like you
I’m sure I’d never sleep.
