Generational Embolism
April 20, 2015
Let past fears bleed from your heart
The blood is thick, but veins do clot
Generations of anxiety do depart.
Mothers and daughters are years apart
But reflections seem to not age
Let past fears bleed from your heart.
Your own beliefs get a kick-start
From grandma’s old train of thought
Generations of anxiety do depart.
Time spent ripping ourselves apart
Perfection is but a war to be waged
Let past fears bleed from your heart.
From your mom, let wisdom impart
A sense of self-love and simple days
Generations of anxiety do depart.
So think not of your bleeding heart
Think of your mother’s grace
Let past fears bleed from your heart
Generations of anxiety do depart.

I hope that this piece will inspire people to look at themselves in a more positive light instead of focusing on the flaws that they and their families see reflected.
