A Letter to the inner little girl

Li Yanmey

Hi, little girl, I hope you’re fine.

I know I’m not a better grown woman than you thought I’d be.

Time is not generous, time is not merciful,

And all in our lives what happened was like a joke for them.

 

I didn’t care about mental health.

That’s funny because it was nothing to care about from the beginning.

I couldn’t become a writer,

I couldn’t become someone important for the two of us.

 

But now I’m learning to live over a new leaf.

I’m learning to be myself with a new disorder.

May I promise it will be okay? I do my best to become who we wanted to.
