The journey started in a paper bag, dark, crinkling,fragile
Sliding up and climbing out, light drew, lost, and crawled back
Shouting, accusations, blame, slaps, crawled back
Sacrifices made and for whom
Tried to please and not good enough, crawled back
A pill, a clarity, more focus, not enough, crawled back
Mom gone, Dad in charge, peering out, crawled back
Dad gone, mom back, bag is tearing, torn, no crawling back
Sense setting in. Cycle breaking, no need tocrawl back. Peace.
