Healing...

poem by: Frank Hornby .
Written on Feb 08, 2022

"Alone with my mind...is sometimes a wonderful feeling...
as repairing regrets...might start the process of healing...
Incidents of my past...need to be released from my psych...
adults arguing, and fighting....those things I didn't like.
As a young lad, I was helpless...so scared when I think back..
his leather belt was the worst....I could handle a smack.
I longed to grow up..."I'll get you back!...just wait,and see!"
..."I'll get revenge for what you did"...to my mum, and me...
A young lad filled with anger...unable to release...
"Stop! Stop! please stop it now...I just want it to cease!"..
Why was it all happening?...my young mind couldn't work it out...
Why can't he just talk?...why does he always have to shout?...
...are they arguing about me?...now what have I done?...
but something in my head is saying....."Frank, you're not this mans son."
