take a swim in my thoughts

Dear Big Sister,

You broke me.

You tore me down.

Word after word.

Every hit and grab.

You broke me.

I was always the slut, the one who was never going to make a “name” for herself, the one who was never going anywhere in life..

The pothead.

Well look at me now.

I travel. Ive loved. Ive lost. Ive learned.

I AM SUCCESSFUL.

I AM A ENTREPRENEUR.

I AM LOVED.

You broke me.

Can i forgive you?

Will i forgive you?

I dont know if i can ever look at you the same.

You’ve never been there for me.

You’ve never shared your secrets with me.

I dont even know who you are.

Youre a complete stranger.

And you broke me.

Ive held onto all of this guilt and shame.

I let you get in my head.

I believed every word you said.

You broke me..

I am me.

And I will never be sorry for that.
