something

I'd be smaller
if not for you

you gave to me
something

something
to work away from

something
to grow beyond

something
to avoid

Something
to use as a ladder
to find new footing

the world
is
always
trying
to better itself

even past missed
messed over
family disasters
and stumbled upbringings

I'd be smaller
if not for you

you gave to me
something

something
I never would have asked for

something
another parent would never have

something
I hope I didn't miss

something
I hope I took as an example

an example
to avoid

but a gift
still

life
is full

and never
taken
