4:30 Letters To Mom

Words of vain 
and vanity 
liks its a choice 
like you can decide 

when and where or why to do your job 

I guess its me 
and maybe thas okay 
maybe 

every hour is inconsiquential or juat unimportant 

Invisibility cloaks me
makes me safe 
from your attack 
but 

It doesnt make me immune 
every sylable hangs
over my head like an omen 
telling me im insignificant 

and im not sure but 

the more away i am
the eaier it is for you 
to hurt me  

you just don't want to try 
you just want to look away 

keep looking

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
