I'm Not Sorry
I didn't understand
because I thought it didn't apply
to
me
The disapproval that comes
subtly but surely
from the woman
who raised you
And in so many ways
Because of the person
I have grown to
be
Because I didnt become a replica
Because I didnt fall a slave
to every
silly idea or claim that bled
From her fangs.
I'm not sorry
however
for setting my own morals
For finding a part of myself
That I could not
change
I am not sorry
For growing to be the Hercules
to your
Hades
I am not
Sorry
For being the one to find and point out
the wrong
the
wrong
In ever claim of your
**"Right"
