I’m not interested in your past, I’m interested in what makes you tick, what makes you angry, what keeps you sane - tell me those things. You have my undivided attention. People waste so much time on a reputation that they simply forget that you aren’t the same person who did those things back then, this is you. This is now… I want to watch you happen at this single moment now. Everything else is time wasted.

Every time you
tell your daughter
you yell at her
out of love
you teach her to confuse
anger with kindness
which seems like a good idea
till she grows up to
trust men who hurt her
cause they look so much
like you.
