Something

Something I wish to say

to my past self-

One day peace will find you,

and it will stay.

Stay - the way you stayed

for people who only loved you

when it was convenient.

 

One day the weight will finally

touch the ground- and your shoulders "

will stop apologizing for being tired

from carrying what was never yours

to survive alone.

 

One day the right people

will find you. And you will no longer

translate yout pain into softer words

just to make others comfortable.

 

And until that day- still here.

Still surviving things

that were supposed to destroy you.

Still becoming the person

your younger self needed

when nobody came to save you.
