Abecedarian to Let Me Be

May 18, 2022
By Anonymous

At most, I feel happy with my friends

But sad when I’m alone

Cutting at each decision I make

Decisions that I regret, but deep down, I really don’t.

Ethnically, I would be looked down upon for having a big heart or sensitive.

For what, though? Let me be.

Go and let me be for who I was born to be.

Hell may rise for having these sentiments for anyone, in general.

I don’t care though.

Just please… I want to be able to be myself for once

Keeping myself happy with one memory at a time.

Loving those who’ve been by my side

May I also not give up on myself and honestly,

No one will get me to the point where giving up is an

Option. It will never be like that.

Putting myself first slowly, but after I stop caring about those who don’t even think about me.

Questions people ask me about why I’m like this, but the

radiant vibes I give off will let me be able to finally learn how love myself, the

Sacred temple that I will always be, but

Trusting others easily is a flaw of mine

Unconditionally will stay loving those who did not think about me now or then

“Valuable”, they say, but others may say that I’m

“Weak” for always giving a second chance, probably even more.

‘Xcept those who think that is weak, live a life full of regrets. Now that’s weak.

Young and dumb, they say, to make you reflect on those regrets you made.

Zero is the amount you should care about if you let those regrets get in the way of your

         dreams, now that is when you become old quick enough.

This piece is supposed to represent me or anyone in general who should not let anything get in their way, specifically about your regrets and for who you are meant to be. Don’t hide your true self, and as for me I learned the hard way to be able to love myself for who I’m meant to be.
