permission to feel

8th grade
april 14
you don't have a reason to be sad
you don't deserve it
why do you think you should be allowed to be sad
what happened to you
nothing
nothing happened
stop seeking attention
you don't deserve it

you don't have to have a reason
you can just be sad
it's okay little one
feel your feelings
don't act on your impulses
you are enough
