Healing Wounds

my family tree haunts me,
 a imagine i’ve held since a child.
unable to escape and become your own, 
stuck in toxic love to only find out it was wrong.
breaking free has become truly whole,
i found love, that healed my soul.
showing me no pain and no harm, 
to find out i was raised wrong all along.
