Untitled #37 - On sanity and a growing belly

You hurt the ones you love the most
To protect others who've not known
The places, the roads, the people they've been;
For a child, you're the most necessary
King -

In their empire of home, learning and play,
They're the prince, princess, never a slave
You're a protector, the shining knight
You're the king, the one who guides
And also the queen, the one who provides -

So you hurt the ones you love the most
With words, with actions, with blows;
You've a child growing in your belly?
They don't know 
A future prince, princess, a unicorn -

It's your child, your responsibility
You'll be a king, a queen, a knight
Even a slave,
To protect their childhood, their teenage,
Just so that they grow up

Sane.
