Sorry it wasn’t my intention to sadden you with this letter, even though sadness is the only thing it seems able to give. But I must do what I must, so all of you can live for the better. So forgive me, my loves, my dear children. For I am a mother by name, but obviously nothing more, and that saddens me because it saddens you. I’m suffocating, but not because of you. No. It’s because of me. I’ve been breathing in toxic air, listening to the voices of the ton, until I no longer have a voice of my own. So, my loves, my hearts, I’m leaving. For I myself am going crazy. My mood changes faster than my wardrobe, and my tears flow faster than a waterfall. I’ve betrayed you. I’ve wronged you. You may not forgive me, but I plead. For I can’t be what you need, nor what you expect. My loves, my diamonds, my stars— you are strong and wise. So please forgive this selfish mother of yours as she runs instead of depending, out of fear and foolishness. To: My dear sons

Intentions
. I once sent a picture saying “I am scared of you” Although I’ve never stated this but I’m scared of the power you wield over me Living in this nice delusional world is beautiful and all But When reality sets in I’ll be the biggest loser I am not afraid to lose, I am ready to risk it all But What I fear is the despondent state this will leave me Untouched yet unfit for anyone else I can bounce back from anything But I can’t bounce back from you This is why I hide from you
