“Why your voice might be the thing that moves the room”

“I don’t hate you.

That would require too much energy

And you’ve taken enough of that already.”

“I’m done waiting.

I’m done hoping it’ll get better.

I’m done believing you’ll see the bigger picture.

I’m done thinking you’ll come back.

I’m done hurting myself by holding on to you”.

“Write it down.

Say it soft.

Or say it not at all.”

“I am done fighting for space in someone who treats my presence like a burden.”

“Unsent, but healing anyway.”

“You are healing.

You are rising.

And you are free now.”

“I’ll keep writing, not because I expect you to read them.

But because I’m finally listening to myself.”
