Child Support

He says the proof of his love is in the way
he hasn't wrapped his hands around my neck ....yet
He bears canine teeth and growls . . .
losing all humanity
All an attempt to remove any capability of understanding me
So that his crowd may join in on the insanity
So that they may applaud when he announces the little that he's handing me
All of this because I beg on behalf of his family
Look at her
The mother of his child is asking for a check
Look at her
The mother of his child is asking for what's best
Look at her!
The mother of his child is over here asking where's the rest?
Doesn't she know?
Has no one told taught her the code?
Either a father or an appropriate sum of dollars
Pick wisely Mama
For you cannot have both
But I was hoping against hope
That we could be different
See, I would choke but I still spoke
I had no right to be timid
Because the future of our children depends on the life we could give them
That's the main point of our bittersweet union
The total sum of our existence
So I said fuck the code
and begged for a percentage of his living
Until he transformed
Made me regret every single minute
The money wasn't worth the horror I had to witness
Before my very eyes
A man turned into something vicious
A beast flashing sharp teeth
saliva dripping from his lips and
violent outburst in front of the children
I could have went to court but this display left the heart unwilling
When a man degrades himself in such a manner
There is no winning
When a father trades his crown for a jester's cap
There is no winning
When you rather your children
have a fake hero then a real life villain
There is no winning
I'd rather live in poverty
then remain an emotional victim

Your honor,
About this child support case . Let's dismiss it.
