Fucking hell. I've seen your to see a parent age poem show up on my dash maybe 10 times now. Every time I wasn't ready to read it, I'd see the topic and the first line and the tags left by the people I follow, and I'd scroll past, afraid of how it would make me feel.
Today again it was on my dash by another blog I follow, but today I felt braver and I read through your poem. First the left, then the right, and then in its entirety. I'm both a child and a parent and it made me feel a lot ways.
I really enjoyed it, and am very glad I finally read it, tears and all.
You're very skilled with words, thank you for sharing them with us.
that’s actually pretty similar to how i wrote it lol- i kept sitting down, staring at my screen, then closing it because it was just too much. but i never once have been glad that i pushed down my feelings, so the words had to come out at some point. i’m so so glad that you enjoyed my poem- thank you for the kind words 💗
