Being able to tell between the difference
when someone is acting out of pain or malice
Being able to tell the difference between
when someone is acting out of malice
or their own pain that’s buried so far beneath
whatever that comes out on the surface
I remember the ways my mother suffered
I never could get to her and have it severed
It’s too late, she died with her pain
I live to undo mistakes but some things seem the same
I don’t understand why it keeps happening
I’ll never get out of the trauma I’m trapped in
But then you said I will and I am
No/Know I’ll never let go of your hand
