A letter to myself
I’m sorry for how I’ve been treating you lately.
I’ve been neglecting the only thing
that hasn’t left my side.
When I get knocked down
you are always there to get me back up.
Every morning
and every night.
You have never failed me,
yet I treat you as you have
because if I had to name off
things that I love
you wouldn’t even come to mind.
Why is it so hard to see the good in you
when you are a masterpiece?
Why do I punish you
for things you can’t control?
Please forgive me
for I will be better,
kinder,
gentler
and more loving
to the only person in the world
who deserves it most.
