I am sorry (Content: Depressive mood) -
January 29th 2024, 03:24 AM
I am sorry
Though I do not know why
I feel the guilt bubbling inside.
I am sorry
Though I do not know how,
how I became so afraid
to eat
to be present
to be alive
How did I learn that I will never belong
every space I occupy, every ounce of oxygen I breathe
is all a big mistake
How did I become so ashamed of my existence?
I am sorry
Though I do not know when
Since when did setting boundaries feel so wrong?
As babies we are born unafraid to express our needs
When did it start to feel so impossible and so unnatural?
I am sorry
Though I do not know who
To whom do I need to apologize?
Perhaps to myself
For the self-loathing I put myself through
For the toxic shame I collapse into
For hiding and denying my needs
I am sorry
Though I do not know if
I can forgive myself
or learn to love myself.
This is my first poem written in a REALLY long time!
~Show Yourself
Step Into Your Power~
~Grow Yourself,
Into Something New~

You did a great job!
Do you ever get a little bit tired of life
Like you're not really happy but you don't wanna die
Like you're hanging by a thread but you gotta survive
'Cause you gotta survive

This was beautifully written, Violet; and I can relate to this so much.
I hope you'll share more of your writing when the muse strikes.

That was beautiful, and Im so sorry you feel that way. Yeah, it can feel really wrong to say what we need. I get that sometimes too and Im sorry you get the same.
