Thursday, August 5, 2021 : High Hopes

Here it is, the letter you’re still waiting for. The letter you’ve waited your whole life for. To all the boys you’ve ever loved who's caused those beautiful brown eyes to shed tears I’m sorry. I’m so sorry they did those things to you. I’m sorry you made so many choices out of fear. Being a people pleaser. Letting it sulk when all you did was sob. Heavy hits on the heart just hoping..Moping, needing. Going through stages of grief but the people I’m grieving are still alive. See it’s just the things we didn’t say that was too late to be said. Lying so they can feel better while you already feel dead inside. How can we heal her? The little girl you once were, the one who use to whimper to sleep. Silent tears so they don’t see your pain. Most of all, I’m sorry it’s taken you this long to feel safe enough to tell someone. You are so strong, especially on days you feel it the least. You’ve been tackling on the world, I know you're tired but keep going. I promise you’ll get to where you need to be. I’m proud of you and it’s finally time. You deserve to be free. I can’t wait to see who you’ll be a year from today

ps: I have high hopes. Lets do it different this time.
