Poem 14. A LETTER FOR YOU

just for you

Did I break the rules again?
I have come to my watershed.
This is my sheath and I think
I can leave no stone unturned
without affecting anyone...
only myself.
But you have assessed me again...
like an article which for you is easy to critique.

Is there something wrong in expression?
Once you've called me as a mute,
and, a coward.
I learned it from you. Now I can bare my soul,
but not putting my foot in my mouth
hoping that through this,
that discomfort caused by such agreement could be healed.

Why do you always throw the guilt on me?
What's wrong
if I sink my teeth into? I'm just a human,
and it's normal to shed tears
when a cherished thing was taken fom me.
I have been an open book to you,
why don't you apprehend my picture?

Now, you have made a decision which again pointing the blame on me.
You're so unfair..to me and  more to yourself.
I am a friend, and will always be a friend.
Why don't you just be certain of that there are things which exist
not like what you think?
This is me. I can do nothing with what I feel,
unless you understand.

I know the second chance was over
and even the third
and I am the one who created that rule
which I shouldn't have to break.

Should I read more into this, you seem extremely sad my friend? Is there anything I can do?

[Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)]

I know you have your own battle as of now, Jack. I'm okay. Just never mind this one about me. I'm still going on. Thanks for the concern. I really appreciate it. God bless us both!

It seems, thankfully, my battle may be close to over, so reach out to me my friend if you need to.

[Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)]

Okay, Jack. Thank you. I want to send you a message but your account is close so it won't be at this time.
