The Ties That Bind Poem by Mary Champion

The Ties That Bind

You can't walk away from something that's part of you
and you cannot deny what you know is true.
You can turn your back,
but you can't detach
the ties that bind.

You cannot wash your hands of the skin they're in.
You cannot lose the way and pretend to win.
You can close your eyes
but you won't escape the lies
or the ties that bind.
