All too often
A child grows
With the strain and stress of
Their loved ones’ traumas
Clinging to their shoulders
At every stage that they get older
The strain holds a little tighter
But they get stronger
Until they’re ready
To adorn their mask
Sling their cape behind them
And step into their power
A superhero of their family’s past
With kindness and understanding
They walk each day with purpose
To make the world a better place
