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.
The public wall
Words people carried until they left them here.
Read gently. Behind every letter is a real person and a real story.

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.

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.
