For a minute it was ambiguous, but suddenly it became crystal. I was expecting for you to give me something you was never given. You couldn’t & at times you’re still oblivious. I call it a clan curse. I carried bitterness in my heart because thats what I was dealt. As for these seeds I’m upbringing it’ll be a feeling they never felt. I’ve chosen to cease the curse right here with myself.
For all you’ve done & given, I’m blessed & appreciative. Including the pessimism, the criticism, & all the negativity. It was my motivation. The impulse to want to prove it wrong became my dedication. To you I give all props, it turned me into this lady. However, sometimes I’m still perturbed by the ignorance of certain situations.
Those leaking wounds that got me scrutinized were my cry outs for help. Even after voicing my voice I still fought it by myself. They say you only get one so appreciate it while its there. I left it anonymous cause I don’t hold you accountable I’m just trying to clear my air.
God said to forgive …. But I don’t recall the word forget. However, I wish I could cause I don’t remember the last hug, I love you , or kiss. Shit sounds so basic & I wish it was that simple. Hurt became so habitually, I even learned to fake a dimple. Never investigated the tears that fell from my eyes. even when you was forced to know you still called them lies.
Incapable of turning my frown into a smile. If in need of comfort, I craved your support. Even with the lack of enthusiasm I still aimed to make you proud. Self taught to break a curse I won’t pass it to child.
Used to be timid & secretive. Now I’m candid & expansive. “What happens in this house stays inside this family” that shit right there got me withdrawn from that family. If I deliberately decline mine signs of distress that would be the death of me. Again, you’re appreciated, you taught me the mom not to be.
I’m gone do for you what you failed to do for me. But first, Tell me …. Did you want to but you just didnt know how to be? … Regardless, Ima be there even if that’s not what you want from me. The grudge I held is gone I couldn’t let it get best of me. I’m gonna continue to be the best I am & even tell you I love you sincerely .
