Inheritance
Folder:
Learning from the Past I inherited your nose and mouth,
but also your short temper
and overpowering disposition.
I inherited your height and body,
but also your critical attitude
and controlling personality.
All your flaws ingrained in my DNA;
I had no choice but to be like you
even the parts I hated most.
And also other imperfections in me
were through training and conditioning
as time is another force at play.
32 years under the same roof as others
can definitely influence how
one's character is shaped.
And now that I am on my own,
I have to come to grips with these
less than acceptable parts of myself.
I hope that I can assess these traits
and hopefully change some of them
and be a better person in the long run.
