Diary of a Dead Girl

releasing/embracing

i'm releasing the past,

and embracing the future.

but what does that mean?

how would i do that?

I could start by forgiving,

but that would require acknowledging.

I'm not quite ready for that yet,

but I could try to be open.

Some day I will be ready,

to talk all about it.

I'll share every grievance and hardship,

and I'll say nothing but the truth.

I'll embrace my flaws,

and maybe accept them.

I will find a way to convince myself that I'm not a bad person,

and then I'll find a way to convince them.

I'll leave this place,

and I won't come back.

But maybe I'll be okay with it,

and accept that it wasn't as it seemed.

I won't speak so terribly about myself,

and eventually, neither will my family.

They'll forget me,

and I hope someday I'll forget them.

I'll have a new life,

a new family to take care of.

And this time,

I'm going to get it right.
