Dear 'uncle' // Part 2

dear 'uncle'

how do you do it .

You've saved me from my depression over and over again.

you see my stubbornness.

You see my relapse.

Nevertheless, you meet me with kindness, warmth and patience.

How do you do it .

when everyone seems to ignore 'it'.

You notice my mind war.

You hear my cry for help.

even when words are not spoken.

where others have scared me, hurt me, used and misused me.

where I have been stuck in self-destruction and trapped in my trauma.

You've been there and I can not ignore it

I am so grateful.

How do you do it .

you can not know

but you've saved my life.

on the night where I was trapped in trauma

where no words came out

or if they did, not in order

You sat by me and gently as ever

you said "you deserve better".

I feel the pain in your eyes.

My soul breaks, it's because of you, I'm alive. how do you do it.

where my mind does not feel safe.

where my soul is locks and the walls rise again. You'll find a way as carefully as ever ,

you remind me.

I'm going to be okay and it will get better
