Unacceptable Apology

Don’t be so harsh,

And say I am trash.

Just walk a few miles on my path,

Knowing that someone held me with a lash.

All I ever wanted was to break free,

As if on a self discovery spree.

And yet fully aware of my roots,

As I grew side ways from tree.

Letting him choose where am I to walk,

My every decision you mock.

There wasn’t another way,

Never held the key to unlock.

Yet as I signed my life’s commitment,

The only decision I hold without resentment.

For he taught me to breathe,

And every time would save me from embarrassment.

Whenever he saw my spirits crumble

On path I would stumble.

Helped me rise again,

And held my fingers as they fumble.
