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?

  1. Truth. And too many seem to believe that their troubled childhood entitles them to be aggressive, and not only passive aggressive. And that the get out of jail free card should last a lifetime.
