Question:

Do you suffer from infestation?

by | earlier

Like a dog

scratching at fleas

the heart knows

infestation

the taped message of

lies told

yet believed

becomes your truth

it plays over

and over again

the voice reminds you

of worthlessness

and shame

you did nothing to own

that innocent child

now adult

still scratching the

infestation.

No, I don't suffer from infestation.

Another nice poem (though you might want to separate stanzas , as it's awkward between the lines "you did nothing to own" and "that innocent child").

No. The Cat does not nor will ever have fleas. his humans strictly forbid them in The Cats house. His human does not suffer from the infestation you refer to either.

I interpret this as one who has been left behind as a child but still looks for the hope in lies told long ago. It is sad they can not move on but need to do just that. Well done and hope I have read it correctly.

I like that you use dogs in your poetry.

It shows you have class & taste!

The infestation & scratching went away once I started to use the ointment the doctor gave me.
