insiduous, rooting veins
corrupting emotions
and wearing away even the
most stoic temper.

Forward
instead of back?

this is infiltration
of ignorance.

and it drains me. The things that your boy is growing through
that you aren't a part of, has to be driving you up a wall.
I hope that you can make peace with it, and be real for him.
Blessed Be.
