Approval

just spattering thoughts from the head when I wanted to scream. I excused myself to another room and well... what else .. write ..!

We dont realize
when are wrapped in a comfortable
cocoon of pains familiarity
until we break out and fly.
How hard it is to want to return
after that point.
Gestational memories.
Paying thanks and ode
while looking into lifes kaliedescope
of happiness and pain.
Reunions with bloods jury and judge.
Was it all just in your mind
or was it really only a thumb
in your mouth that did not scorn ?
Where did we find comfort so long ago?
Hope was the light of the future.
Never let it go.
I heard one say " That one could you bring you the greatest light or the darkest of your days."
Slivers and jabs.
Echoes of growing pains.
Do they really know us or
do we look for blame?
We don't always come back to re visit the
ones who gave us our wings.
Family.
The greatest root.
The greatest pain.
Still looking back for approval
which is what binds use to these chains.
Take a breathe and swallow
love them to the end
of your days,
but forget who to please
This minds is gonna pick this lock
to provide freedoms release
from those chains.

NOW GROW!
K

Really enjoyed this. I found it quite cathartic to explore my own feelings about family and my role in it. Your poem captures some of those beautifully.
