What would I have said?

Nothing.

If I could tell my younger self something

she needed to hear

it would be nothing.

All the pain.

All the drama.

The heartache, the trauma

and the joy, the memories, the delight found.

I know she would not have listened

because even now

there are things in my heart

that contradict what my head says.

Though I suppose I might say,

you will survive

and you won’t do it alone.
