i am profoundly sorry that it has taken me this long
despite crowded shelves of self help books, numerous mentors, therapists galore and Oprah-
it has taken me this long
what looked like self awareness and more self awareness and then some more self awareness-
it has taken me this long
i forgive you for what never needed forgiving
you played no part in your father’s crime
now my punishments can cease
will you forgive me?
