Hardness was all you knew
For there was never for you
A soft place to land
A helping hand
An encouraging word
Or a fold of flesh
Warm and welcoming and kind
To enclose you
In the embrace of tenderness
And so you carried all of that
And could not give us a place
To really be and breathe
But this was fate
Why do we try to reshape it
This terribly dark history
Into something it is not?
For we carried all of this
And is it not
Up to us
To leave it behind us
Even as we recognize its deepest roots
Surely a newer world is aching to be born
But how will we ever truly discover it
If
We do not face the truth
Of all that hardness disallowed
Or grew inside of us
As we recognise
What ever happened
Was not their fault
Was never their fault
This was so beautiful. Sad yes, but beautiful β₯β₯
