My pretty pink princess bed was for them… Ive always wanted one ever since I was a little girl because
I wanted to feel like a princess and most importantly I wanted those sheer curtains that draped over the bed to shut me out from whatever was going on around me I wanted it to take me away so I can dream peacefully.
Who are they ? Because I know yall are asking
They are me and I am them
My inner child and my inner teenager The girls that didn’t receive the love that they needed
The girls who were lost and consumed by trauma
The girls who were too young to understand the world but aware enough to know they wanted to feel something…ANYTHING
Everything that I am doing from this day forward including buying that bed is for them.
They were told to be quiet so they shut up
They were told that everything that happens in this house was to be kept in this house so in exchange for that they kept their most vulnerable secrets and feelings to themselves
That’s why my pretty pink princess bed is for them
A place where their secrets can unravel without any judgement
They had no protection,no peace,no comfort…no community but
Those girls got that now,they got me now, they have that bed now…
Those girls live forever through me and I will live forever for them.
Young ,wild and free like baby cubs finally being released into the open
Now that I am 26 years old I am finally stopping to smell the roses I used to give away so willingly
I am finally letting my hair down after pulling my trauma back into a bun I am stripping my old beliefs for some more soft and sweet
I can finally say no without hesitation because they couldn’t
I can finally do the things I want to and still be scared while doing it because they couldn’t
This is for them
The scared, confused child
The rebellious lost teenage girl
Who both just wanted to be seen
And now we all lay peacefully in our pretty pink princess bed.
