I realize now that I have wronged you all this time
I have given you no chance to be seen as you truly are
I have forced you to wear a mask your entire life
To pretend to know and understand
I have ignored every fragile attempt you have made
To give words to your own truth
To live without the weight of duty
I have betrayed you terribly
I have stolen your whole life
I’m so sorry
Apology accepted!
