No Plagiarism!1nUOWPGB7TD65QWLGjfEposted on PENANA A/N: This is part one of a two part piece of poetry. They're separate poems, but carry the same influence. I originally posted this on my journal entry piece here, but I've changed it into a letter and/or journal entry in verse. It's up to the reader to decide who "_______" is, but I had an idea in my mind when I wrote it. I'd love to hear other opinions though. As always, thanks for the patience, I've been incredibly busy with work and my lab assistant to my Advanced Creative Writing teacher. I've been majorly stressed out with a lot of work for class and trying to set up a connection between my work and LA stuff for a book signing. I'll also be doing a podcast with the author I'm building a connection with, so that should be interesting. As always, enjoy the piece, and please give feedback, it helps so much!930Please respect copyright.PENANAXdB0E43ra7

Dear “____”8964 copyright protection926PENANAifhDVcvrYG 維尼
Dear _____,8964 copyright protection926PENANAd1uo7v6RSd 維尼
I expressed all of my hopes and dreams to you. 8964 copyright protection926PENANAo0P0uDbzgY 維尼
As my confidant, 8964 copyright protection926PENANAdFLbOtXsM6 維尼
I trusted that you would handle them 8964 copyright protection926PENANAOISBbS5OTj 維尼
With care. 8964 copyright protection926PENANAYMVfR07wHQ 維尼
I was always starving 8964 copyright protection926PENANAfcnPcfFu1z 維尼
For your validation and encouragement. 8964 copyright protection926PENANA8zhvuGbIfL 維尼
You knew how I hated it 8964 copyright protection926PENANAFFkJt8n6Zn 維尼
When someone told me 8964 copyright protection926PENANAV8iFskF5bm 維尼
I wasn't good enough. 8964 copyright protection926PENANAUnFTZM1m3C 維尼
Your words kept me breathing and creating. 8964 copyright protection926PENANAtjQXPSk1Cj 維尼
You left me torn into pieces, 8964 copyright protection926PENANAwH3rYK4v73 維尼
Just like that poem I wrote for you. 8964 copyright protection926PENANAQuShgz28bn 維尼
Remember? 8964 copyright protection926PENANAYtJ3Wv109w 維尼
The one you said wasn't good enough? 8964 copyright protection926PENANAqEX5QUdT8H 維尼
I write for myself, 8964 copyright protection926PENANADuw9m3Rb4h 維尼
But because you were so selfish, 8964 copyright protection926PENANAL8uKNIXDVj 維尼
I tried to dedicate every page I wrote 8964 copyright protection926PENANAGnyytd19Ca 維尼
To what you wanted. 8964 copyright protection926PENANAZmv7nCb7p0 維尼
When you were satisfied 8964 copyright protection926PENANAMlZVrPZCKb 維尼
I felt whole. 8964 copyright protection926PENANAOl1DQljBtR 維尼
I wanted--8964 copyright protection926PENANAnDiIE7vwds 維尼
no, needed--8964 copyright protection926PENANA8749ho504K 維尼
your praise. 8964 copyright protection926PENANAxzSUxbqIED 維尼
That smile, 8964 copyright protection926PENANA0dfhDL4Q5I 維尼
Paired with telling me what to write and how 8964 copyright protection926PENANAR8NTDq9jaN 維尼
Made me swallow every bit of resentment, 8964 copyright protection926PENANAh5eLuV2Xsg 維尼
Any bit of pain I felt for my suppressed imagination, 8964 copyright protection926PENANARyq7trkdRT 維尼
And I did it. 8964 copyright protection926PENANAR5kGmYzrmc 維尼
I did it for you. 8964 copyright protection926PENANA5xGlMYlAh2 維尼
In the end, 8964 copyright protection926PENANA6OuPaqXDgG 維尼
Even when I followed every direction I was pointed in, 8964 copyright protection926PENANAGadJPQ1Fts 維尼
It was never enough. 8964 copyright protection926PENANAg8e6lLnmLl 維尼
You wanted more meaning, 8964 copyright protection926PENANAkXMWwlYvAJ 維尼
More eloquence, 8964 copyright protection926PENANAjH3BW2yxZp 維尼
More emotion, 8964 copyright protection926PENANAiy0uH3foaD 維尼
More, more, more, 8964 copyright protection926PENANAa9QAI9ub6o 維尼
Always needing more. 8964 copyright protection926PENANAVOIA2FHIrS 維尼
I don't know how to measure up to those expectations8964 copyright protection926PENANAqfZOUIJ3si 維尼
Because I don't have the strength8964 copyright protection926PENANAdIQUDlWZlf 維尼
To keep my chin up when I struggle. 8964 copyright protection926PENANAVhdM1raX8Q 維尼
I don't know how to keep writing 8964 copyright protection926PENANASRJYhJebzK 維尼
For your sake 8964 copyright protection926PENANAZ2PKq8Erlz 維尼
When you're never satisfied. 8964 copyright protection926PENANATzB4nhStoK 維尼
No matter how hard I try, 8964 copyright protection926PENANAEYk2w5mflW 維尼
Will this ever be enough? 8964 copyright protection926PENANAmK10moAsFI 維尼
Will I ever be enough?8964 copyright protection926PENANACctHsZM0C9 維尼
I can't find anything to reach for now that you left8964 copyright protection926PENANAGd4l8avbll 維尼
And at some point 8964 copyright protection926PENANA3VySyWhO0D 維尼
I lost my drive to keep going 8964 copyright protection926PENANAqNYaQUObyR 維尼
Toward what I want instead of you. 8964 copyright protection926PENANAcrryuFiVLg 維尼
You knew having an impact on someone's life was my dream, 8964 copyright protection926PENANATtMPRIdu2X 維尼
And that writing was my way of doing that, 8964 copyright protection926PENANArdpmL8S1cI 維尼
But even when you knew about that fragile dream, 8964 copyright protection926PENANAMkuKTl2hsu 維尼
You told me it would never happen, 8964 copyright protection926PENANAR0xTW6hY9t 維尼
So I believed you 8964 copyright protection926PENANAMb26AvRhxi 維尼
And let myself fall into the clutches of8964 copyright protection926PENANAiFZfiSwNX7 維尼
Grief and hatred 8964 copyright protection926PENANAZewTVCYzRO 維尼
For myself, 8964 copyright protection926PENANAJwJimxljTi 維尼
For you, 8964 copyright protection926PENANA1eEdLhxDBk 維尼
For my future.8964 copyright protection926PENANAt5E5u10bTZ 維尼
I kept coming back to you 8964 copyright protection926PENANAFvKReixpaZ 維尼
For my daily fix, 8964 copyright protection926PENANArbPV8PNRNI 維尼
That feeling of being complete. 8964 copyright protection926PENANAe0mQwMYl7V 維尼
But you left me, 8964 copyright protection926PENANAK2PD9aoEnl 維尼
And I'm writing this, 8964 copyright protection926PENANAtllHmgaVeh 維尼
Trying to find something in me 8964 copyright protection926PENANAwLMy8nf8K1 維尼
Other than this emptiness. 8964 copyright protection926PENANA7Gg1tJj0C0 維尼
I've become numb to the world 8964 copyright protection926PENANA5lsaL3VHSq 維尼
Because maybe if I'm numb enough 8964 copyright protection926PENANAcEhS44S4uD 維尼
Nothing will break through and hurt me 8964 copyright protection926PENANAD4oZOFl8Er 維尼
Like your absence does.8964 copyright protection926PENANAUGMlWdm0oj 維尼
You lulled me into a feeling of comfort and trust,8964 copyright protection926PENANAUCwhFPlNo9 維尼
Then screamed words of defeat into my ears. 8964 copyright protection926PENANAjdZb2xJhXR 維尼
And those words worked into my brain8964 copyright protection926PENANAM4r3DhY2Ou 維尼
And under my skin. 8964 copyright protection926PENANA1wGNGwWCV9 維尼
They slid under my skin 8964 copyright protection926PENANAZ7Q4YtpmgY 維尼
And lodged themselves under the surface like acid, 8964 copyright protection926PENANAds72TyESxQ 維尼
Burning me deeper and deeper. 8964 copyright protection926PENANAmR4hNr8zhb 維尼
Your venom slowly killed all of my happiness and passion. 8964 copyright protection926PENANAtub233Qbtu 維尼
That spark burned out 8964 copyright protection926PENANA3MPY9kOR6A 維尼
And the one thing I could rely on, 8964 copyright protection926PENANA3h6qTf5Nlm 維尼
My ability to express myself with a pen and paper, 8964 copyright protection926PENANAB8SaYJpybx 維尼
Was murdered by your verbal abuse. 8964 copyright protection926PENANA7wHJLJgXZn 維尼
You destroyed my sanctuary, 8964 copyright protection926PENANARjjiH4PZcP 維尼
lit it up like a bonfire 8964 copyright protection926PENANA6xWljneCnz 維尼
And watched as my life's work turned to ash. 8964 copyright protection926PENANAEb118N4YJf 維尼
With every strike of your tongue, 8964 copyright protection926PENANAEbrnQKfXU9 維尼
My soul was broken a little more 8964 copyright protection926PENANAjE5eNaULpY 維尼
Until there was nothing but dust left 8964 copyright protection926PENANAG84D9QpJW1 維尼
And I no longer cared or had any drive.8964 copyright protection926PENANAxih6b3OHQD 維尼
A/N: That's the first half of a two part poem thing. Thank you so much for reading, lovelies! I've been a little slow updating things, so I'll hopefully post a little more before the school year gets too chaotic. I also have to apply to colleges (oh my goodness I'm going to be in college soon I'm not ready to adult) so that'll take up a good amount of time too.930Please respect copyright.PENANAGbfxXGWXvm
