I didn’t ask you to comfort me.
I had hoped you would simply see and understand what I needed.
Due to years of neglect, I didn’t actually understand my own needs and feelings at all.
I couldn’t even express them, because silence had become my response to the neglect.
It took a very long time for me to finally recognize the profound impact that emotional and psychological neglect had on my own life.
Now, I don’t blame anyone for what happened.
But I am glad that I understand my life better now.

a deer stands by the roadside

night…
the seeds root and the blooms sleep
life is underground
