Title: Broken Promises
My dearest son:
I promise that you will never be alone.
I promise that your two trusting eyes will never be forced
to look at anyone with anything but trust
I promise that your lips will always smile.
I promise that your claws
your nails
will never be needed to scratch
or maim
or shred
or kill
I promise that you will never have the need
to kill.
I promise that you will never be alone.
I promise that you will never understand the meaning
of half-breed
I promise that you will always be loved
for who you are not
what you are
I promise that no one will ever look upon you with
hate
disdain
disgust
I promise that you will never know the meaning
of those words.
I promise that you will never be alone.
You are my son
and I promise that you will never be alone.
