Can I Say Goodbye?

100 "T"

I've written one hundred poems

Thousands of words telling my story

Each poem is unique because it tells a part of my journey from my perspective

Something most of you might not understand is that

A lot of things happen in life

It's a long journey for most of us

My poetry says a lot about me

But you've only read what I want you to read

Do not place your judgment based on what I've written

Because there's more to me than these poems show

A lot of things I haven't written and you'll never know

There are thousands of events I haven't written

Thousands of things none of you will know

I spent my early teenage years fearing life

I hurt so many people including myself

Now that I'm eighteen I'm not afraid of living or loving anymore

I won't let go of my friends because I'm too afraid of getting close

I won't break another heart because I'm too afraid of commitment

I won't stay silent because I'm afraid people won't like me if I state my opinions

I've learnt a lot of things through out the years

Like there are people out there who know, I'm messed up and will still love me

I've made my mistakes

I've commited my sins

But now I look back at all that I've done

I don't have any regrets anymore

The people who loved me and I once betrayed

They've forgiven me

The people who hurt me

I forgave them because that's life

You hurt someone and someone will hurt you

But what matters is how you deal with it and make things it right

New poetry will be written

A thousand more journeys I will travel

More stories will be told

I'll make mistakes, maybe even have regrets

But at the same time

I'll fall in love again, make new friends, travel and grow

Because that's life

It's all about evolving and growing

I'll tell you another secret

Writing is fun

I wrote about love, heartbreak, betrayal and lies

But I didn't write about my dreams, my future or aspirations

I didn't write about the good I've done

Because I've always believed that

The best things in life are often events untold

And that's true

For those of you who know me personally

I have a request...

I know I'm not the most easiest person to be with, I have my flaws

All I'm asking for is for you to please be patient with me

I'm a work in progress

Once I'm complete

I won't dissapoint

That's a promise
