A poem about my struggle with anxiety and therapy. Anxiety that resulted from a dysfunctional relationship with the parents...please feel free to provide feedback :)

psychological assessments and neurological complexes
occurring everyday, occurring at the nexus,
at the place of recovery, the place of discovery,
the place where you will find, the child who is lost in your mind
the place where you can be, the person you've failed to see
so realising it's in me,
where trust and care belong
and it is just me,
who i've neglected for so long
so with a little push,
towards a brighter vision,
i step into the light and move away from the derision,
that stem from the lessons,
of those who so called raised me,
and it is now my confession,
to say you deeply grazed me,
robbed me of my most productive years,
kept me in my shell, and kept me full of fear,
kept me hidden so that i was always near,
kept in a vicious cycle where i could not shed a tear..
i am not angry but just bitterly disappointed,
that you didn't know any better, about the role you were appointed,
and i am now in a good place, getting closer to the sea,
away from that little island, where i've always been,
swimming in the waters that used to terrify,
i'm widening my horizons, my options truly multiplied,
so let that water flow off that poor ducks back,
for i am who i am, with flaws, scars and cracks…
i accept.
