Generational Chains

It's been awhile so I decide to visit…

It's been moments and I already see, the traits you show are an embodiment of everything I aspire to derive from.

Your impulsive rage, I wish to substitute for spontaneous love, your loud outbursts, for quite affirmations...

But this matters more then you because...

But they matter more than you because...

So how about we grab that chain called because and shatter every link of it.

Think of the old times you claim to be nostalgic for. The version of me naive and hopeful. The version of me that added silver linings instead of boundaries.

The version of me I should have nutured before you came in and stripped away that naivety and hopefulness of.

But I understand, I truly do. You where trying to make a man out of me, the only way you knew how.

So let me take these lessons learned through your version of love,

let me nurture these wounds to then teach my child that way I wish you had taught me.

Because you did everything within your capacity. So now it's my turn to multiply it all with every positive affirmation and kind moment i wish I had, to add my experience and break down all the weight you carried with each generational link of that generational chain to finally shatter it all so every burden carried by you and everyone before... Is never given the power to weigh my child down.
