I’m sorry I’m so sorry
Dear secret in the cracks
I was a child
Looking at you like this was everything
Like you were
Everything.
I was a child who didn’t care about pain because life seemed like an endless dream
I’m
Sorry
I was a child who looked at every crack and instead of ignoring it, I had to noisily point them out
While everyone wanted me to smile and pretend they weren’t there
I’m sorry
I was a child that wanted to grow up but also stay your young daughter forever, safe,
No cracks,
I’m
Sorry.
I was a child and I grew into the cracks
While everyone else was filling it up, encasing me,
Showing off how our whole family was okay without me. I’m sorry
I was a child
I’m
Sorry I was a child
I’m
Sorry I am so sorry.
