Dear Little Me
Dear little me,
Hi princess, how are you?
Sad? Yes I know
I feel it too…
I feel your pain and your heartache
I wear it on my chest like a sign that reads “I’m broken.”
Out in the open,
I cry.
Instead of hiding inside
Yes I know that’s what you use to do, that’s what WE use to do.
Things are different now.
Better? I’m not sure but
I’m louder than I was before.
You see I advocate for you baby girl.
You are the reason why I’m so strong.
I feel your tears in my soul
So I will fight for you until we’re whole.
I am the voice that you didn’t have.
I am the screams that you muffled into your pillow.
You see sweetheart I am the voice that said “it’s okay you can stop now.”
I am the warm embrace you long for.
I am the ear that you whisper the secrets we were too afraid to tell the world.
I am you.
I am here because you were strong enough to fight your battles,
So I could see mine.
You are me as an explosion.
It’s okay now.
Wipe those tears
You don’t have to cry anymore
I am right here.
Love, The girl you survived for
