Baby bird released
Soars on healed wings. No glance down
For earthbound mother

The Angry Man in Your House
"If you grow up with an angry man in your house, there will always be an angry man in your house" This statement has caused plenty of controversy online, people say its a statement that blames victims while also undermining those who break traumatic cycles to form health relationships... but if I'm honest now that I'm in my 30s it makes more sense to me than ever, and I'd argue that its not just about fathers and uncles.

Powerfully wistful.
Superb! Emma This poem captures the bittersweet moment of letting go. The image of the baby bird soaring with "healed wings" speaks to growth and independence, while the "earthbound mother" left behind says so much with so little. It's short, yet packed with emotion—simple and effective.
