February 5th

I want to leave this town. I want to fall asleep in love and know that I’ll wake up there again in the morning Over and over again. I want to be everything they were to comfortable to try and be. I want to look in the mirror and see the woman I created instead of the child they forgot to raise. I want to have a daughter who won’t have to catch the overflow of trauma in her cup. I want to have son who’s father’s shadow isn’t a warning sign. And I don’t want to feel guilty about any of it. Most of all I want to for give them for being all that they knew how to be.
