Regrets

I am not a perfect person.

Kept having a lot of regrets, and a lot of burdens.

Intrusive thoughts are unwanted thoughts that come out of the blue,

They can also be disturbing, and rude.

Trying to confront, kill, and bury my fears.

Sounds of the thoughts are like myself whispering into my ears.

Trying to improve myself as friend;

Trying to be a daughter who pretends.

At school, which I never carry.


I have always tried to forgive my regrets,

But sometimes I have a habit of forgetting.

I have burdens that I carry around everywhere I go;

I always think that I am very alone.

I always question that I can’t be the 

One dealing with all of these problems.


But my friends always support and tell me that I am not alone.


Even though I sometimes feel like I am disowned.


All my regrets are to my parents who truly love me;

I always lied, yelled, cried, and tried to break free.

Some days I just want to get relief from my stress;

I am also blessed

At the same time.

It causes me stress.


The author's comments:

I wrote this piece because I am struggling with mental health, and when I am writing I feel like I express my emotions and feelings better than explaining in my own words when talking to someone.
