1596 - Post Your Own Bail



 

Post Your Own Bail

You had a troubled childhood?
Your parents weren’t supportive?
You only had dogs for company?  
Well, at least you had company.

You had a troubled childhood? 
Your brother and sister still treat you as the little sister?
Their partners annoy you?  Some extremely? 
That’s life.  Suck it up, darling.

You had a troubled childhood?
You feel that you cannot trust people.
You feel unsupported and isolated
But are spiky and cold—your choice.

You had a troubled childhood?
You feel that this is a ‘get out of jail free’ card?
A licence to be passive aggressive?
To be openly hurtful?  You are wrong.

You had a troubled childhood?
Is that a reason to not grow up?
