Bound by a Root
About the poem-
Life isn't fair, some people are born with distinct disadvantages, they carry the sins of their mothers and fathers. My poem is about such a person and their struggle to understand and overcome.
Predestined to Choose for Herself
Loneliness, self-loathing, despair,
words seldom spoken yet written
on small scraps of paper
before she was born;
like genetics she calls it
inheritance
but not her self-worth.
Her value she writes in a poem
with edits and cross outs,
a striving for truth
until the day that she dies.
We get life based on our 'karma'. Nice poem thanks.

A search to find truth; a search to find peace. From that which came before. This poem resonates with me. You have a way with words. Truly inspiring.

Yes, over the years I've learned that there is no such thing as "fair". That's the cry of a child. The trick is to let go the expectation. Another remarkable poem!
