Musing I
You knew the truth
about me
those sneaky ways
that get these human and understandable needs met
you just wanted me to "get it" and I am still trying
really, I am
to understand these human needs and have it all "ok"
even though
sometimes anger gets the better of me
more than anyone
your patience was appreciated
and even though I played my stupid games of hide and seek
thinking the game would go on forever
(and intellectually knowing this
wasn't a game but that we both could really learn something here)
I still play
my child in tow
trying to reparent myself in a healthy way
like I wasn't being before
I know there are no feelings of "malice" -
and further to that you probably wish me well
and I want you to know that it's all OK
I am bigger than my hurt and as long as I can strive to really LOVE
I know my life will be well.
