Write a letter to your younger self about a. challenge you faced as a child but have since overcome 7 months, 4 weeks ago Who I am
Future nowSocially awkward.
I was born from complacent duty
And an alcoholic dependency
Forced out the womb with forcepsWithout parental or medical foresight
On how it would affect me. It motivated me
To see limitations as my enemy.The kin to me would be unknown
Because I was born to this world
But not of it. A singularity.Only defined by self.
Made in the image of self.
Self made.
Purposed by the most High.Most of the time… high on hopes
Doped up on fantasy, to escape
An abusive reality… but the stench
Of misery’s scent was stuck to me
Once upon a timeToxic ties that tethered
Me to despair
I didn’t care to stay thereSo I gave myself to prayer
To let my Maker bare the burden
Once I did that I became aware
Of the joy that life offersI know who I am
Very soon so will you too
With all my loveVoting is closed
Aww, I am so sorry for what you went through. You had to grow up quickly and that wasn’t your fault. A positive to this is that you were able to have an early start on realizing who you are. All those experiences helped form you into the confident and amazing person you are today and without them, you wouldn’t be the same! ♥
