Daddys Boy

my mind
is an
incomprehensible
and fragile arena

your constant
attacks
upon my psyche
have left me cowering
under my dead mothers skirt

and my father
cannot help himself
as he adds his scorn upon
my ever fragile landscape

I hear his hatred filled words
as he repeats those dread filled words
mummys boy, mummys boy
I always knew, I always knew
