I’m honored to see my piece “Misery” in Sudden Denouement!
Sometimes all I want is for you to hold me. Let me feel your strength. Let me smell you, feel your arms around me and know you’re real.
I want to tell you how much you mean to me.
But, instead, I’m frozen in silence. And it’s only in those moments when I think you won’t really look at me, and see how much I’m feeling — how much I’m hurting — or hear me if I say something, that any sounds escape my lips.
The words you do hear are often apologies. Beneath the hundreds upon hundreds of I’m sorrys, what I really want to say is that I wish it could be better for you.
Because you don’t deserve to share my misery.
You shouldn’t have to be my savior.
Sarah Doughty is the tingling wonder-voice behind Heartstring Eulogies. She’s also the author of The Silence Between Moonbeams

This is amazing! And congratulations! 🙂
As a sidenote: You seem to always write pieces that are so relatable. I’m sad you feel these same emotions but I’m also glad I’m able to read pieces that show someone out there understands. You are so inspiring ❤

Keep practicing. You’ll improve as you go. A good sign of your improvements: look back at your old writing. If you cringe and wonder what you were thinking, you’re on the right track. 😊
