Unveiled

With these words I am about to hurt you

I am about to disappoint you and alter our reality

I have spent days and nights creating this moment

and now I have no where to run

I can't call myself proud and true if I stand here and lie to you

You will look at me confused, upset, or mad

You will be silent, walk away, or ask why

And after all is said and done - I will still be Me

I will still be the girl that prays in silence

The one who values every experience as a lesson

The woman who never forgets gratitude and forgiveness

A person who is madly in love

Your daughter, who is ashamed of disheartening you
