Our Past We Shared

Published by Family Friend Poems November 2006 with permission of the Author.

Many nights I drowned myself in tears
because you caused my family so much pain over the years.

My sister, you mentally and physically abused,
and my brother, you unfairly used.

He was forced to be a father,
because you didn't want to bother.

My mother, you lived off her,
things would have been better without you in the picture.

You were there and still are,
and you are still causing us all emotional harm.

It is time for us all to grow and change,
because what good will it do to remain the same?

I'm willing to forgive you and leave the past behind,
because a better life is what I'm trying to find.

Will you change with me
or stay stuck in the past like a deeply rooted tree?
