What is Mine


This isn’t what I imagined

What could I have done differently

More importantly

What did I do wrong

 

I know that you love me

I’m blind to that I don’t recognize

It shows in your anger

And so does your resentment

 

I’m sorry

I made my own choices

I will make my own life

Just as you worked so hard for yours

 

My mind is my life force

An engine of creation

Made for the world to see

And they will
