I have written dozens of letters to family members
Yet none of them have received a word.
I write down my deepest and darkest feelings
But the intended never reads a word.
I don't have the courage
To see my mum read
I don't have the strength
To see pain in her eyes
I don't have it in me
To see her cry as she realises
The hundreds of letters I've written
Proclaiming my true thoughts and feelings
Have never yet reached her eyes.

I have written dozens of letters to family members
Yet none of them have received a word.
I write down my deepest and darkest feelings
But the intended never reads a word.
I don't have the courage
To see my mum read
I don't have the strength
To see pain in her eyes
I don't have it in me
To see her cry as she realises
The hundreds of letters I've written
Proclaiming my true thoughts and feelings
Have never yet reached her eyes.
