If something is wrong, fix it now. But train yourself not to worry, worry fixes nothing. — Ernest Hemingway

Forgotten Notes

Let me sing to you, my daughter,
so I may make the strings of your heart,

I remember that song.
Every note just for me.
Sweet melody,

Our souls in tandem with the music.

when I go back,
for a listen…just for me.

only to stare at strangers,
thinking that for a life’s blink,
that stranger could have been you.

I tired of being wrong.

I remember being very young when I first started to feel the feelings that I do. It was a time where I had no idea what was happening, I was confused, scared, and thought there was something wrong with me. As I grew into a teenager, the feelings and thoughts I was having intensified and got worst. It was hard, it was even harder trying to mask it from everyone, something I know now in this stage of my life I shouldn’t have done. Although, I am still guilty of it from time to time.
