Letter from a Traumatized Child to the World

Dear World,

I don't know if you'll understand, but I want to say sorry. Sorry for not being the way you expect me to be. Sorry for not feeling or acting "normal." I wish I could be like the other kids, carefree and happy, but something happened to me that changed everything.

I'm sorry to the adults who try to help me but don't quite understand what's going on inside my head. I'm sorry to my classmates who might think I'm weird or distant. And I'm sorry to my teachers who might get frustrated with me because I can't always focus or participate like everyone else.

You see, there's a lot of noise in my head. It's like a never-ending storm that I can't escape from. It makes me feel tired, scared, and uneasy all the time. I try to block it out, but it's always there, buzzing in the background, making it hard for me to concentrate or feel at peace.

I wish I knew how to quiet the noise, how to find some calm in the chaos. But I'm just a kid, and I don't have all the answers. I'm trying my best, but some days, it feels like I'm drowning in a sea of thoughts and emotions.

So, please, be patient with me. I'm not trying to be difficult or distant. I'm just trying to survive in a world that feels overwhelming and scary. I may not always show it, but I appreciate the people who try to understand and support me.

Someday, I hope the noise will fade away, and I'll be able to feel at peace. Until then, I'll keep trying to find my way through the darkness, one small step at a time.

Sincerely,

A Broken Child
