Dear Me

dear me,

i’ve been looking for you

seems like you’ve gone away for quite a while

maybe you’ve been thinking about coming back

or maybe you haven’t even thought twice

succumbing to my futility

sail me out to the sea of promises

a place where nothing will harm my mind

i ask that nobody will come and search for me

lost touch with my spirit

i just need to get out

no longer can i continue to poison my brain

what lies beneath is the truest of beauty

a heart so pure

the tongue of a poet

there is much more than what i see

shame on me for never changing

for hurting myself continuously

pretending to be oblivious to the pain and stress that fell upon me

i must take the time to find myself

to love, accept and find who i’ve been growing to be

now is my time
