The Ancestral Debt

Dear Delyara, They say we carry the trauma of seven generations in our DNA. I can feel the sadness of grandmothers I never met, and the anger of grandfathers who had to be silent. I am the one who was chosen to break the chain. I sat here tonight and I wrote for them. I wrote the words they were too scared to say. I released the secrets they took to their graves. I am clearing the bloodline. By the time this ink dries, the debt is paid. My children will be born into a lighter world because I chose to sit at this desk and do the work.
