Letter to the Forgotten


To whom it may concern:

No one knows your name.

And why should they?

What have you done in life

to earn respect, love, to

make your mark?

Nothing.

And you never will.

If you stay in that state of mind.

You can change your future

no matter

your past.

So.

To whom it may concern:

and please be concerned,

do not be the forgotten,

be the respected, loved,

make your mark.

Form your future to what you

want it to be

because you may be forgotten,

but you are still here.

And doesn't that count for anything?

Best Regards.

Hello! The name I'm going by on the site is Trizdy Plat. I began writing poems in ninth grade, when I met my first friend at the high school. I had never really thought much about it, but I've always loved writing stories, even thought I'm not very good. I decided to try my hand at poetry instead, and here we are! I mainly write about love and relationships, even though I'm pretty much clueless in both areas. I find that poetry has a way of communicating what you want to say, even if what you're saying makes no sense. Right?
