This piece is called The Apology. To me, it didn't come with instructions. I didn't know what I was doing. I only knew I wanted the best for you. I watched you every day, gratefully. Grateful to see you grow old into this beautiful woman. The woman you have become has scared me, shocked me and amazed me at times. I've sat biting my nails with my nerves on edge. What is she doing? What is she going to do next?

I really, really like that part where you say that that woman scares you and that she's unexpected. You don't know what she's going to do next. What will it be? It's so exciting. I think it was a really nice image to kind of speak on this journey of self knowing and growing. Yeah, I really liked it. Thank you so much for sharing

And I remind myself, and remember, we've came through this before. We've conquered before. You'll be okay. It'll be okay some way, somehow. And that's where this one came from. But again, thank you very much for your responses. I definitely look forward to them

It's. That was beautiful. Thank you for sharing. And something that I really wanted to say, even when you were commenting on my post, is there is like I don't know really how to describe it. I want to say a vulnerability in your voice that I find you really powerful. So I'm happy that I found that you are reading your own poetry, because I should have looked when you were commenting on mine. But I just really like your voice

This one, it definitely was on the more vulnerable side of me, but I'm getting used to sharing it, and I always appreciate the feedback. It's a little encouraging to let me know that what I keep to myself is supposed to be shared and others are supposed to enjoy it, even if it leaves me a little vulnerable. I was given something for a reason. So, again, thank you

So I appreciate the interaction that we have on this app and thank you for posing the question and continuing to listen in and follow along with the journey of my sharing. And thank you for your vulnerability because it's magic. There's a song called currency by Malia. Listen to it. It is magic. I need to do a song appreciation post about that song. It

You. Thank you so much for replying. I honestly did not realize I had written this one so long ago and that I have been up here for almost a year. Like, I'm doing it and I did it. Yay. Go me. But I guess it was just time for you to see it. And I appreciate your feedback and your replies
