I have anger I wear as my totem

For the ignorance of my family

When reminded with an unforgiven shame

Why do I lament this with such voracity?

Why do old wounds hurt so much?

Awakening an inner child with unresolved propensities

Do I cling because of my rigid beliefs?

Can I ever outgrow this identity?

I have anger I wear as my totem

There are others who remind me of our idiocy

This takes me back to my childhood

Ahhh The old wounds from the family
