Dear Me



I’m sorry

I’m sorry I couldn’t save us from this

I’m sorry our parents got divorced

I’m sorry Dad did those things to us

I’m sorry those girls at school want us to kill ourselves

I’m sorry Mom’s boyfriend doesn’t care about us

I’m sorry I cut our wrists

I’m sorry I didn’t tell anyone

I’m sorry we didn’t have any friends

I’m sorry I hid from the world

I’m sorry I gave in

I’m sorry I killed us

I’m sorry



Dear Me



It’s not your fault

There wasn’t anything you could do to save us

Our parent’s divorce wasn’t your fault

It’s not your fault that man we called our dad raped you

The girls in school aren’t us, they don’t matter

Mom dates that man because she loves him, nothing we can do

You cut because it relieves the anger

We didn’t know who to tell

We had friends, they just didn’t know how much they meant to us

The world hurt you, I don’t blame you for hiding

We felt like we had no choice but to give in

We didn’t know what else to do, we couldn’t take it anymore

It’s not your fault
