My granddaughter wrote a poem while in middle school. Shes now in college. Her poem is being published. We're so excited for her.

Reliving the past
A cursed endeavor
I cannot change the mistakes I've made
I cannot give back a childhood I denied you
I am profoundly sorry
That is my life's regret
I wish I had been stronger
I wish I had been able to acknowledge the mental illness that consumed me
Even now it's hard
Sleep never comes easy
The past keeps me from the present
Keeps me from my future
