To my old friends

“Somethings are better left unknown.”

To my old friends
I am sorry I wasn’t a good friend.
I am sorry I didn’t know how to communicate back then.
I am sorry my trust issues got in the way.
I am sorry I didn’t come out to play.
I am sorry I didn’t text for days, months, and years.
I am sorry I didn’t share secrets as you did.
To me the fewer people know about me the better it is,
And the more secure I feel.
If I tell them nothing then they can’t hurt me.
To my old friends
I am sorry I wasn’t a friend.
I promise to change for the next.
I hope you find new friends you can trust,
And I hope they trust and love you just as much.
To my old friends, I am sorry I wasn’t a good friend.
You deserve better than I was back then.

Proverbs 18:24 A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

Don’t be a pessimist be an optimist

My muse

My muse
She Is such beauty
Not her body, but her mind
Even though she has a beautiful smile
If I were Leonardo DA Vinci, I would paint her twice
Her heart is of gold
When she speaks, I can hear her soul
My muse, I would like to know what you withhold
Would you tell me the secret you never told?
