criticism, shame, and pressure
weighed heavy on her innocent psyche
existence
the process of accepting more pain
impeding her maturity
life’s mistakes chosen unwisely
battles wearing her down
a breaking point
finally came
she chose to unearth her decimated being
destroying the mold of generations
retrieving and reclaiming her true self
way past due
I Write Her 
Indeed past due!!!!!

Thanks so much, Paul! I’m glad you enjoyed it. Yes, I feel the pattern of writing about dysfunction, healing and growth seems to be what I tend to focus on.
