Engender
Travis Daniel Smith 1984 (southern California)
forgive, forget,
move on,
this is the way.
with you,
cant see past the evil.
can't see beyond the selfishness.
damage done,
no remorse, only guilt.
choices made used as daily torture,
cursed existence youll never move past.
you choose hate over love,
self hate, blame.
patterns,
over and over.
different people,
same results.
with me,
i choose love.
for me,
i choose forgiveness.
with you,
i, release this, cut ties, choose happiness.
for you,
i, leave you, hope you will break your own cycle.
i, cannot fix you, will not shoulder your trauma.
i, choose my own path, break free
