I wanted a hug

Back then I was hiding my melancholy with a bright smile.

Prehaps they failed to preceive me, even when I was open enough to explore,

even when they reaasure me that they know me.

But surprisingly they didn’t even care to know for once,

what my unfiltered needs are!

They got me wrong,

probably they imagined, getting me a toy or some shorts of snacks;

would somehow enlighten my mood.

And it eventually did at that period of time.

But now,

when I look back, I realize it should have been a physical comfort rather than a metarialistic comfort.

Blaming them now is superfluous.

Probably they were never open enough to console me with physical comfort.

they did, what they thought was the best thing to do

I get it !

But how can I make my inner child teach?

that they did, what they knew, was the best to serve

She still imagine of getting a tight hug,

someone seeing her pain as theirs

somebody just understanding her,

without any interrogation.

Someday,

somehow, by the lack to mental consoling,

she had learned to give it to the world.

I express my huge gratitude towards my readers, who have read my whole article. i think, ican hope that my writing somehow touched you.
