a child walks in the office
looks of disbelief
expression of his thoughts were shaken
felt like his life was taken
not from a stray bullet
guilt from family that live off empowerment
egos and supremacy belong bury in a place call the basement
child didn't knew what to do
a lot that was convey were all true
no one should never be judge
no one will dictate the outcome of one's choice
support was all he needed
through the words of encouragement, he will not be defeated
his courage to face his parents will not be depleted
all the child said was build a relationship with his sister he haven't seen in years
all the lies and hides from his parent's skeleton almost left him in tears
i echo to his ears to not have animosity
instead
embrace the opportunity the opportunity in getting to know his sister and niece
build that bridge slowly and make peace
regardless of what parents say
he will never leave his sister astray
