how long will it take
to wipe it from my mind
pretend all is well
and just move on
should i be mad
sad or frustrated?
should i be kind
forgive and forget?
nothing you do
is even about me
even if it impacts me
it’s not about me
and so i must let go
i must move on
but i can’t pretend
and i can’t forget
I don’t want to
because that feels phony
and makes me a little sick inside
how do i move forward
without being fake
how do i move forward
without calling it out
without a scream or a shout
without even a whisper
of how i feel
how do i move forward
without making it about me…
even for a minute?
because if i just let it go
if i don’t say a thing
about how it makes ME feel
would it, could it
just might it happen again?
how do i let go
without being a mess
how do i let go
without spiraling in shame
how do i let go
and still believe in me?

I love the questions in this. The thoughts in this embrace what so many of us feel.

Hi Connor, I don’t know if there is just a simple answer to feeling this way. But we can learn to take things day by day, and do a little healing each day. I also lean heavily on my faith, and my knowledge that our Creator loves us, no matter what we do or has been done to us. ❤
