I am sorry that my words are sad.
It’s just that I have been sad for a long time and people couldn’t tell.
I tried to make up by being happy all the time.
The sadness just stayed inside, and stayed silent.
I know it is there, I know it has lived for a very long time.
I know that there were a million times when I should have cried as a child.
I don’t know why I didn’t. Why I didn’t just cry for help.
And now, the sadness keeps welling up in untimely tears.
I am truly sorry for my sad words, but it is high time they are said.
I need to heal, to forgive and to be at peace.
