A parent To Mom I needed you to notice I was not asking for much. I just wanted you to notice that I was struggling before I had to become good at hiding it.
A parent To Dad I became easy to avoid being a burden You always said I was the easy child. I was not easy. I was scared to need anything.
A parent To Mom I wish you had asked one more question When I said I was fine, I wish you had asked again. I know I was hard to reach. I also know I was still hoping you would try.
