childhood

you can blame
most of your problems
on what happened
between the ages
of zero and ten.
your mother didn't
love you enough,
your father was
never home. but
there reaches an
age, a stage where
despite all of
that imprint into
your dna of love
not gained. you
have to stop and
shake yourself free.
let it go and
love without
compromise and with
compassion.
