Analysis of Even Now!



In childhood, it did not seem odd
With parents who would seem so flawed.
Even then with many clues.

I think I understand just how
They failed in what they did allow.
Even so, the best they tried to choose.

It will take time to separate
Facts from emotions of my fate.
Even Now!
