Everyone thought she was happy, Everyone thought she was strong, until the day she was gone, hung up in her closet by the same rope that was attached to the tire she swung on in the front yard during a happier time. She thought she was overcoming until she saw what she was running from. The thing that was silently haunting her whenever she closed her eyes. She remembered how lost and broke she really was, and how hard it was to continue on. To pretend every day, every moment that she was okay. To hide her hurt. She was sick of pretending so one day she began to write, and her letter read.
Dear whomever
I’m sorry to disappoint, but I can’t pretend that I am okay anymore. I cannot lie to myself anymore. I am not okay. I am truly very sorry it ended like this I know it’s not beautiful or the ideal end to my not so ideal life. But.. Try not to think of me too often I dont want u getting sad.. just live well.. just live, i’ll be walking with you every step of the way.. Goodbye from the friend, the daughter, the sister, the girl. The flower.
