A letter to your younger body.
Dear Felicity
and her younger body,
to both of you
It isn't your fault
you are this way
it's not your fault
that you don't function
the same as everyone else
it's not your fault
that hospitals became a home
those white walls bringing familiarity
and it's not any easier now
those white walls are still familiar
and I am still broken
but please don't blame yourself
don't sit and cry in your bedroom
under fairytale duvets
clutching your plushies and your pills
you
can be you.
