Legacy 3 Poem by Alfonso Siverls

Legacy 3



I am my father’s child
I am from him, part him
But not him
Others see him in me, but I do not

I carry his pain like a curse
Always haunting me like an inescapable obsession
Just as he carried his father’s pain

I am my father’s child
And my son will carry my pain
