An Unconventional Rebirth

Bask in the sunlight of the morbid grace I have given you.

Realize that absence creates

Strength and improvement. Run from

River to

Forest to

Beach,

With the energy I pass to you.

No time for remorse, and no time to

Overthink the guilt and the pain.

Use the youthful bounce I leave behind,

Use it all,

So it will never be

Wasted.

 

On your heart, you will wear new traits.

Patches of my strength and brevity. But

Only sew the ones that bring you benefits.

Avoid stitching the

Abhorrence and

Intolerance and

Repressive

Scraps.

Be careful to never be too careful.

Although every familial thread is

Strung together with disagreement,

Listen to these words, feel the tough velvet of my regrets

And promise to make none of your own.
