~To SWIM an INFLICTED MIRE~

sometimes we choose whats really not us, as we at times conceal our closet'd past's, it stews a tornado of anger an guilt, the anger's ok the guilt's not of us when subjected to someone we deemed we could trust, reaction is deep protective onslaught to preserve to keep what little's left if only a peep. . . we've no idea of other's dark closet'd past if were not told ~

About this poem:
Many fight for what little they have left after it was almost all taken by their or someone in their past. Written in defence of how we continue an strive to be an us we are and or a created one by others.

Ty Redex, sometimes people create who we are, through infliction of hurt an pain. It takes us away from our authentic self, as we act out in defensive posture protecting what little is left. I speak this from experience, as it's been a long road yet attainable in willingness. Ty for your comment:)

Family-of-origin stuff can leave deep-seated feeling of guilt and affect our feelings of worth. I agree that it's not ours, but it is a struggle to leave behind.
