A Wish, No Genie

By N.tti

By N.ttiPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Please be steady.

Please make a stable & safe place for me.

I know this isn’t what I should be asking of you.

Help me reinvent these traumas of my inner child.

Can you hug her?

Can you heal her with me, please?

Can you sit here with her?

Can you not leave her if her tantrums escape my adult body?

It’s not her it’s me...but she is me.

So I can’t be surprised if you leave, right?

I was supposed to control that

My wish...

A place to let loose, go buck wild with my truest thoughts and emotions.

You listen, you empathize and after it all you stay and still love me...is it too much...maybe.

It is just a wish after all.

A wish no genie.
