The Unsent Letter

I decided I should burn this bridge, so this is me bombing it.

I wrote you a letter, and no, I didn’t send it.

But after a month and a half I re-read it, and realized this:

I grew, and now I’m stronger and smarter.

Back then I never would have known that in this letter viewable by only me,

I found the best words I’ve ever heard.

My favorite quotation of all I’ve read

Was one that I said to no one but me

“I don’t need you to complete me anymore,

For I’ve decided to complete myself.”

AMEN. Powerful statement made here. Keep writing. I hope you don't mind if I don't rate. I don't give or accept ratings anymore. Just seems a waste of time. I hope the narrator holds on to the sense of empowerment found within these lines. Such a healthy and uplifting sentiment, really. "I don't need you to complete me anymore, For I've decided to complete myself." Brilliant.
