It’s time

Dear You,

I’ve spent my whole life in the shadow of you,

Feeling lost, unsure of myself. Confused

You’ve carried me for over 30 years

But I carry your burden, and it’s full of tears

Your strength and tenacity is what I admire

But a life without trauma is what I desire.

I wish you nothing but the best in this life

But I want nothing more than to be the best mother and wife

I can no longer carry your burden in my soul

It’s time to move on, it’s time to let go.

You have made me the person I am today

I wish you the best

But It’s time to go away.

You have made me a powerful force

And the ties with you, I share no remorse.

It’s time to learn to love myself again

I will take what we have learned, I will win

I can see happiness in my view

But I’m done running from you

I love you to death and I wish you well

But I can no longer spend life in mental hell

Thank you Trauma and depression for holding me tight

I’m going to be strong for me now, I will make life right.

Sincerely,

A better me
