Analysis of Crying in Capitals. A Letter to Mum.
Hello, how are you today? Even on the sunny days it doesn't feel too great.
Love makes the world go round but it feels quite still. Personally, this might not get better.
I’m feeling better today, thanks for asking mum. My head is less heavy and smiling is easier.
Don’t worry about me anymore please, it’ll all be okay. Really, that’s a promise. Often been going on walks, getting out the house. When out, music is playing to distract me, just like you told me. Never worry about me, you’ll get sick with stress. I’ve put on weight, eating better too - see! Now you can get about your day without thinking too much of me, knowing how much love there is for you. Goodbye mum x
