black pearl

black pearl
with a core of blue
return to me
and release what you’ve been through…

… sadness and shame
anger and blame
this is my life
a feeding of the flame

Anger

My shame
At having you
As my father
Has become
Anger
Directed towards myself
For failing my children
In the same ways
You failed me

Angry

i’m angry
at you
for not being
more
like me
