The Note You Needed Today
Shame got there first
I hope you
heal from
the moments
you needed help
but chose silence
because shame
got there first.
From every time
your mouth opened,
then closed again
because needing help
felt like failure.
FROM:
Every prayer you whispered instead of asking someone.
TO:
A hand that reaches before you collapse.
DATE:
The day help stops feeling like humiliation.
TOTAL:
You deserved support before survival became your only language.
