interlude:III

there are some things you should know

buried, once

now, unearthed

for too long, the words, the story, hidden

from myself
from you

most of my life has been a desperate plea for acceptance

that, you might know

the anguish of living
shouldering the secret, hiding the shame
silencing the broken

i left.

your words spoken cut me to the core

yet

i dream of you. hear your voice. see the faces i love

there are some things you should know

i am here. i am real.

and i am stronger than i have ever been
strong enough to face the truth. the past. the pain
and it's not your fault. you are not to blame

i am listening.

and yes, i hope.

not for what was.
what could have been.
not for what was not

there are some things you should know

anonymous,

who the hell are you?

i have no stones to throw. sorry if you don't like what i write.... maybe you should try scrapping yourself out and leave a name at the end of it...

i am tired of cowards.
