Still alive You Can’t Run From Where You Come From
You can’t run from your origin.
It lives in your name,
your blood,
your earliest memories.
And family
even when broken,
even when distant
is woven into that origin.
You may outgrow the place,
you may protect your peace,
but some part of you
still looks back
not always with love,
but with a quiet ache
for what could have been.Still alive You Can’t Run From Where You Come From
