No Plagiarism!YyK6ha40zvo1iWRKnqTvposted 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!642Please respect copyright.PENANAqx7KQ3H1LO

Dear “____”8964 copyright protection638PENANAP4e15muJXM 維尼
Dear _____,8964 copyright protection638PENANAwDAKt5WuHp 維尼
I expressed all of my hopes and dreams to you. 8964 copyright protection638PENANAM7JJqZes7l 維尼
As my confidant, 8964 copyright protection638PENANASqPwo3Z68y 維尼
I trusted that you would handle them 8964 copyright protection638PENANAPpxx0EmqVx 維尼
With care. 8964 copyright protection638PENANALhyLC8nyOt 維尼
I was always starving 8964 copyright protection638PENANAHMDVTmbh8P 維尼
For your validation and encouragement. 8964 copyright protection638PENANAOeSujRTzQa 維尼
You knew how I hated it 8964 copyright protection638PENANAjoQLqxtRBJ 維尼
When someone told me 8964 copyright protection638PENANAI7zzciolLS 維尼
I wasn't good enough. 8964 copyright protection638PENANATSE8kWmFou 維尼
Your words kept me breathing and creating. 8964 copyright protection638PENANAa42un4q2jn 維尼
You left me torn into pieces, 8964 copyright protection638PENANADBkLq85G2p 維尼
Just like that poem I wrote for you. 8964 copyright protection638PENANAaW6BfPTbo5 維尼
Remember? 8964 copyright protection638PENANAbzalL8dSRS 維尼
The one you said wasn't good enough? 8964 copyright protection638PENANAZVsr8SCXaU 維尼
I write for myself, 8964 copyright protection638PENANAufik8KLVb9 維尼
But because you were so selfish, 8964 copyright protection638PENANAL3O9ADvywK 維尼
I tried to dedicate every page I wrote 8964 copyright protection638PENANAUlFWmxAjlw 維尼
To what you wanted. 8964 copyright protection638PENANAF3DHibAhva 維尼
When you were satisfied 8964 copyright protection638PENANASvVMPHVQRX 維尼
I felt whole. 8964 copyright protection638PENANA435U7oB7ba 維尼
I wanted--8964 copyright protection638PENANA3Oqb6yOw09 維尼
no, needed--8964 copyright protection638PENANA5p9rgFovby 維尼
your praise. 8964 copyright protection638PENANAsZkvckiYBB 維尼
That smile, 8964 copyright protection638PENANAinUZmV16v7 維尼
Paired with telling me what to write and how 8964 copyright protection638PENANAirAhhQtKiQ 維尼
Made me swallow every bit of resentment, 8964 copyright protection638PENANAYEaYuaSzyC 維尼
Any bit of pain I felt for my suppressed imagination, 8964 copyright protection638PENANAWJhEB7mBoH 維尼
And I did it. 8964 copyright protection638PENANAKtTO6i8QoH 維尼
I did it for you. 8964 copyright protection638PENANAbIOyadJ4UT 維尼
In the end, 8964 copyright protection638PENANAt3X7Sm7b1s 維尼
Even when I followed every direction I was pointed in, 8964 copyright protection638PENANAkh7r1ithdK 維尼
It was never enough. 8964 copyright protection638PENANA4UyqPovquQ 維尼
You wanted more meaning, 8964 copyright protection638PENANAD7GDEHF2eS 維尼
More eloquence, 8964 copyright protection638PENANAoNdlgZ1vkW 維尼
More emotion, 8964 copyright protection638PENANAXDpuV1kP0Q 維尼
More, more, more, 8964 copyright protection638PENANApqSvCWFQrS 維尼
Always needing more. 8964 copyright protection638PENANATGf2ZGCX02 維尼
I don't know how to measure up to those expectations8964 copyright protection638PENANAOkpcZjEFdZ 維尼
Because I don't have the strength8964 copyright protection638PENANAeLbg4FqBSb 維尼
To keep my chin up when I struggle. 8964 copyright protection638PENANAveXsild6AG 維尼
I don't know how to keep writing 8964 copyright protection638PENANAfGxVmUZo5i 維尼
For your sake 8964 copyright protection638PENANAUb7LwQeBzC 維尼
When you're never satisfied. 8964 copyright protection638PENANA7NB41QwaA9 維尼
No matter how hard I try, 8964 copyright protection638PENANAOuOiUKqhIR 維尼
Will this ever be enough? 8964 copyright protection638PENANA6R1ham4ZSp 維尼
Will I ever be enough?8964 copyright protection638PENANA63zjDHtria 維尼
I can't find anything to reach for now that you left8964 copyright protection638PENANAW6jRzzJR6R 維尼
And at some point 8964 copyright protection638PENANAP5kCPXYaLx 維尼
I lost my drive to keep going 8964 copyright protection638PENANAY7o0bF5B6h 維尼
Toward what I want instead of you. 8964 copyright protection638PENANAI5Kr9Mnl71 維尼
You knew having an impact on someone's life was my dream, 8964 copyright protection638PENANAAMatEtbwyR 維尼
And that writing was my way of doing that, 8964 copyright protection638PENANAHVzRKj4UIY 維尼
But even when you knew about that fragile dream, 8964 copyright protection638PENANAHLJRfAmdgN 維尼
You told me it would never happen, 8964 copyright protection638PENANAHnsw7UQApB 維尼
So I believed you 8964 copyright protection638PENANAd3KSVbPQI5 維尼
And let myself fall into the clutches of8964 copyright protection638PENANA9T0xbRQiAh 維尼
Grief and hatred 8964 copyright protection638PENANA7TJOG4Yur4 維尼
For myself, 8964 copyright protection638PENANAsbJ3enUd6K 維尼
For you, 8964 copyright protection638PENANAkmoN1xuDjy 維尼
For my future.8964 copyright protection638PENANAtlZZrcbvg5 維尼
I kept coming back to you 8964 copyright protection638PENANA59n0VIFe46 維尼
For my daily fix, 8964 copyright protection638PENANAK9bhFhLQzm 維尼
That feeling of being complete. 8964 copyright protection638PENANA2P1A40S2HL 維尼
But you left me, 8964 copyright protection638PENANAnDCq4aSlMm 維尼
And I'm writing this, 8964 copyright protection638PENANAHhXBJC1Pm1 維尼
Trying to find something in me 8964 copyright protection638PENANAUnmhWOc9u5 維尼
Other than this emptiness. 8964 copyright protection638PENANAghtQjGhpEJ 維尼
I've become numb to the world 8964 copyright protection638PENANAaBTHsOn3ny 維尼
Because maybe if I'm numb enough 8964 copyright protection638PENANAX5lNlGky9u 維尼
Nothing will break through and hurt me 8964 copyright protection638PENANAiKfZujq8IU 維尼
Like your absence does.8964 copyright protection638PENANAxnaofw5yCd 維尼
You lulled me into a feeling of comfort and trust,8964 copyright protection638PENANAem3pDIK1Pa 維尼
Then screamed words of defeat into my ears. 8964 copyright protection638PENANAT7SRkLrJ89 維尼
And those words worked into my brain8964 copyright protection638PENANAUAVN6zhHqo 維尼
And under my skin. 8964 copyright protection638PENANAamrkKaCYtq 維尼
They slid under my skin 8964 copyright protection638PENANAOwEE2Gie1Q 維尼
And lodged themselves under the surface like acid, 8964 copyright protection638PENANAnAE7DeG8dE 維尼
Burning me deeper and deeper. 8964 copyright protection638PENANAy2CkcA4w5H 維尼
Your venom slowly killed all of my happiness and passion. 8964 copyright protection638PENANAqAVo1BS3Qh 維尼
That spark burned out 8964 copyright protection638PENANAXF0jXbZhug 維尼
And the one thing I could rely on, 8964 copyright protection638PENANArDTiEJdrBM 維尼
My ability to express myself with a pen and paper, 8964 copyright protection638PENANAZprumTyygm 維尼
Was murdered by your verbal abuse. 8964 copyright protection638PENANA6NprbHar8s 維尼
You destroyed my sanctuary, 8964 copyright protection638PENANAbdJovlLRyQ 維尼
lit it up like a bonfire 8964 copyright protection638PENANAl6n4KbLfft 維尼
And watched as my life's work turned to ash. 8964 copyright protection638PENANA8wUDhMBWNC 維尼
With every strike of your tongue, 8964 copyright protection638PENANAcYwbINXMFv 維尼
My soul was broken a little more 8964 copyright protection638PENANA6OmlHBKvQn 維尼
Until there was nothing but dust left 8964 copyright protection638PENANASGenmRGwMa 維尼
And I no longer cared or had any drive.8964 copyright protection638PENANAOoBoPA5RVx 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.642Please respect copyright.PENANAKZvkikJk6L
