PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Maybe I have been wrong 

about everything. 

Maybe all of my emotions

were based on things 

never done to me, 

but on what I thought

was happening. 

Now I find clarity

in the debris of my past,

in the ruins 

of previous lovers

and my former selves.

Thank God for 

all the things 

that didn't work out.

Thank God 

for the people that hurt me

(intentionally or not).

Thank God for the jerks

that blew me off,

relationships that ended,

friends that dropped me.

Thank God for the tears-

the days and nights 

of endless tears.

Every time they fell,

they cleansed me,

they renewed me.

And while I changed 

in little ways,

sometimes backwards ways,

it was all part of the journey. 

And here I stand today,

not perfect by any means

(that I'll never be)

but better than yesterday.

And every day I'll strive

to be better than the day before

(sometimes worse admittingly)

but trying nonetheless.
