the formative years

i've watched enough you tube
videos, read enough
books,
and been in enough therapy
to understand now
how the mind works or doesn't
work.
it pretty much is all about
those first five or six years
of childhood.
bad parenting, or no parents.
from the cradle to the grave
you're either making yourself
miserable, or someone else miserable.
at least until the light goes
on in your head, and you move on.
you stay away from toxic people.
friends, relatives, spouses, parents,
people you work with.
when you cut them loose
you are at last free from childhood.
