Suffocating In Silence. Poem by alex sarich

From his birth date a memory dims
serving a childhood apprenticeship
while being raised dysfunctionally
parents scrapped emotionally, physically
nurturing control over role play as parents.

Isolation became the norm during infancy
his fear of loneliness had normalness
written on his face repressing feelings
of rejection, disconnection and no way
felt protected by these adult inadequacies.

They shut down to child chaos and emotion
when commitment is essential in his growth
silence and saltiness he had when needing
words, wisdom and love to rid of habits
which fetch taboos, traits and torture to him.
