Letters Never Sent [Inspiration Poem]

An old friend I had missed

called me the other day

She had been so lonely

she had lost her way

 

She told me about a letter

that she had wrote long ago

It was meant for me

but I wasn't to know

 

She broke down crying

and said I've missed you

So I thought that I'd read it

for all that we've been through

 

I wanted to be amazing.

I wanted to be beautiful.

I wanted to live through this life without a care.

I wanted to feel the sun.

I wanted to be successful in everything I planned.

I wanted to be happy knowing I had done everything I could.

But frankly this isn't true.

I've never done the things I've wanted to do.

I made a lot of mistakes.

I went down the wrong road.

I didn't do all that was possible at all.

I forgot how to smile.

I forgot how to laugh.

I forgot how to enjoy the things that I used to love.

 

And know that I've realized, I've wasted all these years. I wish I could get them back. But I can't. So I put on my brave smile and stand up once more. Wipe away the tears falling, not allowing another to slip away. This letter I read was from me to myself. A reminder to never stop despite any hell. I've tried, and I've tried, and I'm still trying today. Everyday is a struggle, but I never give up the fight.
