All my life, all I have known is "go with the flow..." keep your head down and follow. I have never been a leader but then one day something clicked, my loneliness consumed me and suddenly it felt like saying YES to everything wasn't good enough. I felt like I was a bad friend, I felt like I didn't deserve help and I felt my problems and struggles were insignificant in the face of others happiness. So this short poem is my battle cry, a way to tell myself that its ok to have a voice and to sometimes let a loved one down, for the sake of my mental health and to speak up.
ps. I have never shared any poetry of mine with anyone cause I never thought they were good enough, so this is me taking the first step to being brave. I would love to know your feedback and the constructive criticism any of you have to offer. Hope you enjoy it.☺️
