I guess this 
IDEA
that I'm not forgiving 
that I'm 
BITTER 
I'm concerned that 
YOU 
FEEL that way
MAYBE 

SO
I've been giving it 
SOME THOUGHT 

I'm NOT 
I don't THINK 
HOLDING a grudge 

I AM 
PRONE 
to grudge holding 
BUT 
I've done a lot of 
WORK 
on it

I pretty much 
NEVER
think about Deborah in my day to day life
I DON'T 
wish her harm
BUT 
I SEE
NO REASON to 
have ANY
CONTACT 

I think she was just being herself 
and I THOUGHT she treated 
ME bad
BECAUSE I was the
REDHEADED step-child
BUT 
dad wouldn't let her spank me or hit me at ALL
& she REALLY resented THAT 

AND
I felt like she made up for it with jason 

I was afraid he was gonna have brain damage 
from the number of times
she HIT him 
in the HEAD 

SO
I MEAN 
I don't NEED to work with her to
BUILD some BETTER future
she's a BAD person 

by MANY different metrics 
& she's NOT someone 
I would associate 
with
if I weren't RELATED to her

& GUESS what 
I'm NOT 

I understand that she's jason's 
MOTHER 
SO
HE
has a different
EQUATION 

if I had a kid
I don't think I would want them to know my mom
I FOR SURE 
would NOT allow them to be around her
UNSUPERVISED 

the fact that jason has solved his equation 
by re-writing his history 
is within his rights to
DO

BUT 
I DON'T 
ENDORCE 
THAT
