Image of a patient Father
Mother with an iron fist
Secret meals whilst punishments falter
White lies and back talk- she'll keep a listBanding together- secrets the glue
United front
All at once, house divided - life will continue
Loyalties tested- acing a mustSeeming freedom granted in our lives
New boundaries and relationships
So often, forgetting ties
Whilst lies spilling from lipsThe beginning always ends
Events outweighing others
Old repeats and new begins
At times, faltering to remove the coversMid story the scene seems stuck
Sitting, thinking mind's quicksand
Press fast- forward, no such luck
Observe then forage the landGrowing, learning parent's ways
Footsteps following chalk lined squares
Life's myth; it's not a game
Create your own- become aware
