I’d rather have the ghost of the past
Than the zombie walking here right now
Migrating memories to resentment
But let me clarify
The whens and the whys
Are entirely my fault
Carried a false belief
That I was worth forgiveness
That the entirety of twenty
Were reinforced by this incessant blitz of kindness
And for being perceived as wrong
One learns how wrong
Can go deeply wrong
And nowhere to go
