Dear Self,

I wish I could say life’s been a whole bunch of days full of joy

but instead it resembles the battle of troy.

Tricked into letting in those that have done nothing but want to destroy my hopes

I failed to stop them and handed over the ropes.

But there’s nowhere else to go once you’re at the lowest low

Just close the curtain, it’s the end of this shit show.

As the curtains closed, and my eyes weeped

I realized there were a few people on their feet

Belching out that they loved me so

Could this be true?

Maybe it wasn’t my time to go.  

As I stepped out of the closing curtain

It was then that it became certain.

I am the star in my show called life.

Regardless of the pain, suffering and strife.

It is my life that I will live…

And yes, I started to forgive.

But not just those that beat me down,

But also, myself for thinking I was to live life with only a frown.
