"Another poem about falling in love with someone whonever deserved my love in the first place...."

“Another poem about falling in love with someone who

never deserved my love in the first place.

Another poem about wishing that I could be

the woman you would swim across the ocean for.

I sound so pathetic, so hopeless, so someone

that no one should look up to or desire to become.

Another poem about hating myself for not

being exactly who they were looking for.

Another poem about saying goodbye too soon

and never having the chance to make things right.

Another poem about missed opportunities

and failed attempts at molding myself into who

I’ve always wanted to become.

I could still be that woman that I admire,

the one who holds more courage than she does

hands and who never has to think twice

when it comes to knowing who she is.

Another poem about realizing that I don’t need anyone

to complete me or to love me in order for me to love myself.

Another poem about waking up one day

and seeing that I am good enough.

Seeing that I am someone who is capable of

loving and being loved. Another poem where the writer,

myself, understands that there is no wrong way to love

someone when you have given it your everything.

Another poem that ends in forgiveness, but not

forgiveness towards another but towards myself.

Another poem that you can read yourself into.

Another poem that helps not only myself but anyone

who reads it understand that they are not alone,

not unloveable and fully capable of making a change.”
