Iknowyou
Daisy Ashcroft Oct 2019
I know you.
And so I know that you are not from here.
And that you want to go back to wherever you came from.
But you won't admit it - to me or to the world -
Because you are afraid:
Afraid of being rejected by that place and then
Having nowhere to go.
You can't believe that any longer;
if you continue this belief, you'll get nowhere.
And eventually this world will realise that you don't
Belong here and banish you anyway.
So don't keep lying
Because I can't be bothered
With this anymore either.
Good day to you.
And I hope you make up your mind
For it won't be long
Until...well
Do I really have to tell you?

i know you. more than you think.
i know you probably lied to me.
about almost everything.
i did too. at times.
i know you love your family.
i know you dislike them too.
i know that you probably felt off.
i know you missed me.
but honey, i knew that before we got pulled into the sea.
and i still jumped.
i knew you were probably afraid.
but i loved every part of you.
i saw those parts of you,
and accepted them.
i still love you.
even the parts you probably hate.
i'm not stupid. but love isn't perfect
