Write A Letter - Dear Thief

Dear Ms. Thief,

Imagine my surprise when I woke up today and realized something was missing. I know where I left it last night and when I woke this morning it was gone. It is something that I have cherished all of my life. It is a gift that my parents gave to me and reminded me of how important it was to cherish. I can hardly believe that I trusted you to be left alone in the same room. I have heard rumors that you have behaved this way in the past. In fact you were tried and convict by a jury of your peers of behavior unbecoming. Most people would be thinking that what you stole from me is something materialistic. When in fact, what you stole from me is of greater value than diamonds or pearls. Your callous disregard for another person’s feelings led you to strike out in a vicious and monstrous way. Ugly words in the form of malicious rumors have stolen from me my sense of self-esteem.
Sincerely,
Your Victim

  5. I posted earlier and realized it may have been taken the wrong way so here it is again with explanation :) You did a great job of explaining a very important and special thing that many of us allow to be stolen. It is an interesting way in which you put it. Great job.

  6. Whether spoken carelessly, or with intent, words cut more deeply, and have stolen more, than any knife or thief ever could.

    Such an eloquent letter from deep within.

  8. Beautiful letter. It reminds me of a letter I once wrote, about an ex-boyfriend. Lovely writing. :)

  9. I think my ex-husband must have been best friends with your theif, he was a master of this kind of brutal attack also. It took years to recover my belief in myself, but I have. I hope you too will say "No, you are wrong, you do not speak the truth for me or my life! Really great writing, thank you for sharing it on Write A Letter Wednesday. I loved the intensity!

    Very short, sweet, and to the point. I liked it a lot.

  11. Although stolen, hopefully this is something you can get back one day. Keep looking in the mirror, and it will appear!
