Family (from fu 2 uf) poem written for last night's @aim4theheartorg heart sessions urban poetry workshop, but ran out of time, so will perform it next week instead...
Family
From To
Frozen in Fear Unconditionally Upheld
Unwanted & Unloved Nobly Needy
Cocooned, yet Cursed Forgiven for Fuck-Ups
Knifed Kindly Understood & Understanding
Entitled, yet Eviscerated Coexisting with Chaos
Damned for Dancing Kindly King
Uprooted & Unhinged Empathetically Ennobled & Ennobling
Parentless & Petrified Dancing Delightedly
Frightened & Fucked-Up Fucked-up & Forgiven
Abandoned Advocate Adopted Ambassador
Mercilessly Massacred Mercifully Melted
Intimidated & Infantilized Interdependently Immortalized
Lost Lawyer Loving Listener
Yielding Youthfully Youthfully Yearning
