cheap cliche trope

last night I
dreamt
a photo
of my father
at a strip club
holding 
the 10 of cups card
and my child self
by his side

last night l
dreamt
a photo
unreal but
for in my
sleeping mind

awoke
to draw
the chariot
reversed
myself
reversed
my wheels
in the air

awoke
to cage
trapped in
my mother's 
body
my mother's
figure

disgusted
to be a cheap
cliche trope
lazy writing
incomplete 
character

no brain
   no body
      no life
that's at least
fully mine

to grow up
with those
parents
hated so
and grow up
to basically
be them
or be
everything
they said
I would be
because of them

take the credit
it's all yours
no escape
