wish;wrong
I've taken so many paths,
I've done so many things to protect myself,
Putting up a guard,
Putting up with bullshit,
Putting up with the hits,
Putting up with the harmful words,
I've pushed to get myself where I am,
I've damaged this vessel.
I've damaged her so much,
With my anger,
With my selfishness,
With everything, she and I went through,
I can tell she is tired,
I lift up her chin and caress her cheek.
I wipe her tears away and pull her close to me.
I wish I could've been better,
I wish I could've saved her sooner,
I wish I didn't drown her at the beginning.
I wish I could've been more.
But
I was wrong.
I lost sight of what is best for her.

PoetryYou and I, we have different stories and that's what makes us all individually unique. This is just a continuation of mine- where I try and fix myself, relapsing along the way. I hope this gives you hope or whatever you need to survive.
