Dear You

to the angelic girl that read this book; to the girl that died, anyway.

a book written primarily on a friend's death. i discontinued writing this after i got my emotions out.

***

you trained me to hide my emotions in a jar.
you told me that feelings are "not who you are."
you said it didn't matter, if i was kind. only the fact that i wasn't pretty -
no one cared about my mind.
