An Open Letter

Written on 1-19-2016

For the hours spent crying and talking to myself

For the scars that I bare on my body and soul

For every ounce of pain I have felt

I am no longer blaming myself

I am tired of being treated like a burden

Then hearing the words, “I love you”

I am tired of being invited

Then being ignored the entire time

I am tired of doing things for others

Only to be knocked down and belittled in every way

I am tired of being questions and prodded

I have nothing left

To say

To give

To do

For anyone but myself
