A Letter to My Parent

Dear Parent,
When i was grieving i wish you knew to leave me be and not overcrowd me. i wanted to be around you to forget why i was grieving, not to be bombarded, by questions about how i was feeling. i would have preferred that you continued on like normal as a distraction from everything. i wish you understood that we feel your emotions differently and that i do not continue as quickly as you.

from child of yours.
