Ashamed
The words you say to me
Direct anger and blame
How did we get here
An echo from the past
A culture of damaged ego’s
An echo that still lasts
Why does this pain attach itself
In a developmental chain
One that binds us to miscommunication
Leaving an indelible stain
What is most disturbing
In the miscommuniqué
The fact we do not see this
The emotional transactions that we pay
Take away the preconception
Take away the defensive beliefs
Listen openly together
Diminish much of the grief
Have I lost all credibility?
Have I no valid point to make?
How do we break this cycle?
What is the cost it will take?
Blood is thicker than water
But in a tide of fallen tears
A diluted pool of sorrow
Separates those close to us who are near
A memory can bind us together
A memory can also enslave
How do we heal from the past
Must see the true forms outside of Plato’s cave
Pull back from the platitudes
This plants a harmful seed
Take ego out of the equation
Maybe then we can proceed
Begin in the middle
Use the golden mean
Train ourselves to forgive
In what cannot be foreseen
