I wrote about the events of my life in a "perfect world." In the poem I mention my family's drug addicton, my reliance on the approval of men, and the need for validation. This poem is an approach to me realizing that I struggle coping with these issues and that it's okay because I don't live in a perfect world. Ideally these are things that never should have happened, but they did. I did apologize to my ex-boyfriend for him leaving me and I do heavily rely on the need to feel loved and accepted and I want my audience to realize that they aren't alone. Everyone has their own stuff to deal with and that it's okay to accept it, to write about it, to talk about it. I write about things and share things that I shouldn't share, but to me, it makes me feel more human. I have these flaws and the recognition is the next step to letting go.
