time to grieve

a poem

By cheyenne Published 3 years ago 1 min read

The woman I want to be, the mom I want to be, the wife I want to be is gonna require letting go of everything I thought I needed, letting go of the hurt that I owned so please give me time to grieve the little girl I never got to be.

give me time to grieve the little girl that is still in me who never knew what love was just what it wasn't.

give me time to grieve the little girl that is still in me that felt like she was a burden to everyone around her and was only good when she was silence.

give me time to grieve the little girl that is still in me that's a little broken and still waiting to be chosen by someone who doesn't give her a second thought.

give me time to grieve the little girl that is still in me because I couldn't save her from everything that was done to me and for that I say to her I'm sorry.

And I hope she accepts my apology.
