Dear Life,

Um....
Hi!
It's me.
You know?
That kid you always pushed around?
The teen that you put a lot of ideas in
But too many judgmental voices?
The one that you wouldn't let fit in
Anywhere?
Yup!
That's me!
So, uh
I know you've heard a lot from me.
All those nights I stayed awake
Yelling at you.
Don't you dare think this excuses what you've done
To me.
I still have those scars.
....
It's just that,
Well,
I didn't think you were actually listening.
(I mean, you never have before.)
But today, uh,
I, um
Well, I mean she...
...
She smiled at me.
My crush smiled at me.
...
So yeah,
Thanks.
For the first time,
You let me do something right.
