Dear Kemauri
Dear Kemauri,
Is it okay if I call you that?
I know you prefer Keke.
Why is that? Have you let someone ruin your name
for you?
Has your past made you afraid
of it?
What consequences followed,
with the sound of your name?
Were you beaten as a consequence?
Were you screamed at as a consequence?
Were you reprimanded as a consequence?
You cannot define yourself by your past
You cannot drown yourself in
sorrow
because you have dissapointed
others.
You cannot shame yourself for the mistakes
you have made.
You are everything I want to be,
you are everything you need to be.
You deserve the world
and nothing less.
Don't allow anyone to make you think otherwise.
Yours Truly,
Kemauri
