Reflection

By VagrantGypsy

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

You’re everything you never wanted to be All the pain and hate stays with you through the years, Memories you’ll never erase His ways are not your ways For once, open your eyes and see That genetics can only go so far to make you who you are You’re your own person So stop living in his shadow Too afraid to have one drink, because you’ll think you’ll beat the ones you love too Stop letting your past consume you His ways are not your ways What about that don’t you understand? You can break free of everything you don’t want to remember Try and make amends for all the damage done, but it falls apart It’s not your fault he made you this way You’re tired of running Your ways are not his ways Written January 1st, 2002 © on Jan 31 2002 01:55 AM PST   18 • 0 • 12
