From The Surrender Theory: Poems by Caitlin Conlon

[mitteninsherzz]

quote is from “The Surrender Theory,” which you can find at the 🔗 in my bio, as always :) fun fact! the original final line read “I tried so hard to love you.” through rounds of editing it became “I tried so hard to do it right” which feels so much better to me. what do you think? https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpf8yzvp0Y2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
