RECOVERY-ING TRADITIONS
BY RAY’EENA GILES
To stay from tradition,
and break the chain of addiction,
to which you so desperately cling.
You take a moment of pause,
to glorify pain that you caused,
and the demons you thought that would stay.
They say devils don't fly,
but your wings didn't die,
your demons just locked them away.
Take a moment to listen,
and remember tradition,
that didn't cause heartbreak and pain,
Remember the pies,
and the heartfelt goodbyes,
each year as the fam goes away. | RG
