Dear Nanny,
You told me to act strong till I get strong. I tried to fake it till I make it, but my act stayed an act.
I say I'll be okay, but I'm not okay, Nanny.
I say I'll get over it, but I'm still holding on, Nanny.
People leave me, but my memory doesn't, Nanny.
I trust too soon, and love too much, Nanny.
I'm not the brave girl with her big, curious eyes who stood strong like you raised me.
Have I failed you, Nanny?
