Sometimes I stare deep at the stranger that meets me from the other side of the mirror.

I wonder why I keep doing this to myself...

And the answer is an open secret;

"Hurt people hurt people"

And sometimes the people they hurt is themselves.

Oh! How brutal I've been to my own self...

Ironic that I'm the same girl pulls others through with words

But now it appears "Miss know it all" can't take her own advice.

I'm trying to find pieces of my peace of mind. Help me!!!

Like a virus bug clinging to the red blood cells,

Feelings of disappointment, hurt, anger and bitterness attach themselves to my soul

And I find myself right here,

Where I vowed time and again that I'd never refrain to.

The frustration of it is like carrying around a decayed body that just won't decompose.

I'm letting go,

The stench may be fatal.

Forgiveness is salvation and

Moving on is progression.

I shouldn't let memories become the death of me.

I regretted having met you,

I wished I'd never seen you...

If only we could go back to being strangers...

I'm actually not trying to write a poem,

I just am not finding the words in accuracy.

And this is how best I express myself.

What I'm trying to say is;

Being so upset, disappointed and bitter towards you hurts no one else but me.

So I forgive you.

And most of all,

I forgive myself.

And i choose to release you from my heart because for sometime now,

I have used you as a sharp object to drill holes into my own heart.

You told you'd love me forever and I believed you.

You said you'd always keep me with you and i held you to it.

Please help me heal and move on

Please just tell me you're sorry and that you didn't mean any of it.

Please.

It's the final thing I'll ask of you. Forever

Please
