I will give you space to feel your emotions.

I won’t tell you to stop when you cry.

I will give you the attention they didn’t provide.

I will give you a family that is healthy and safe.

I will give you words of affirmation and grace when you make mistakes.

I will give you warmth and more than just basic necessities.

I will protect you and never let you apologize for getting punched in the face.

I won’t let your body be violated and your brain be convinced it’s anything less than capable.

I will give you education, the way you learn it.

I will let you grow and carry you through even on the ugly days.

I will stand up and protect you, because sweet broken girl, you’re so worth defending.

I will give you a home that is clean and calm.

I will give you a name you will be proud of.

I will give you proof of how incredible you are.

I will give you the time.

I will give you it all, because it was never too much to ask for in the first place.
