"What They've Done" Inspired by The Search for Us:

What They’ve Done

It’s not fair to be judged for

who my parents are,

what my parents have done.

And yet,

not knowing who they are,

not knowing what they’ve done

raises questions in my soul

that demand answers.

My parents know who I was

before I knew me.

Their choices led their lives

to create mine.

They are my history

and parts of them live with me

live in me,

staying in the present

and guiding me into tomorrow.

The choices I make today

are only possible because of

who they are,

what they’ve done.

And I want to know

if those are choices I want to own

in my future.
