Sadness
Why allow people who are rude,
Have things your daughter rarely gets?
Why trust people who can't help,
Someone they've never met?
Why be friendly to a world,
That wallows in regrets?
Why destroy an innocent child,
So you can get ahead?
Why laugh when she's not around,
To hear what you said?
Why talk to people that are there,
When I constantly worry if she is dead?
Why wake up every morning,
And waste time making the bed?
Why smile if you're not happy,
After you heard the things she said?
Why embrace the ones who abuse me,
For being morally in debt?
Why not kidnap my own daughter,
And go to prison instead?

Would you really kidnap daughter knowing you'd be imprisoned?

Thanks. Babies cry because the person holding them isn't their mother. Not because they can't see them, their eyesight isn't great after they are born. It's because they can't smell them. Children function on a whole other level and shouldn't be taken from their mother's unless it is a life or death situation

I hear ya sister. You need to make moves if it's seriously troubling you.

I did. I tried to be happy but people at work had other ideas. They care so much.

What a heart-wrenching and thought-provoking poem!
The use of rhetorical questions ("Why allow people who are rude...?", "Why trust people who can't help...?") adds to the poem's emotional impact, highlighting the speaker's sense of frustration and powerlessness.
The poem's message is one of outrage and protest, highlighting the need for protection, safety, and justice, particularly for vulnerable individuals like children.
Good stuff
