Letter to me

January 22, 2018

Dear Me,

Why do you listen?

To those cruel words?

Why do you think?

Those harsh thoughts?

Why do you cry?

Over things that can't be changed?

All the people, and you're only one.

All the people, and yet you feel so alone.

All the people, and you choose to be in pain.

All the love, yet you fear the happiness.

All the hope, yet you choose to hide.

All these choices, only you can change.
