Family

Blood and bones
Our connection
This deep association
Unexpected
Every generation
Nurturing its own triumphs
Battling our own demons
Decade to decade
Our memories
Entrench pain
Celebrating
Gains

Dreams and wishes
Our connection
Inner conflicts
We unexpectedly overcame
Pain underground
Our choices ordinary
Freedom
More than a wish
In reality bound
Shame
Shackled
A generation
Growing proud
