You thought

You were

doing 

so good...

 

You did the best

you

could.

..

Might not

Mean much

But..

I’m 

Proud of 

you..


I hope

you know

It’s 

true..

....


You are 

Just a 

Little kid..

 

Why 

Are you

Standing there,

Attempting to be

Hid?..


Where

Did I 

Go wrong

With 

You?

...? 


I’m sorry-

You couldn’t have

Predicted the

mess that

would

ensue..

Just a little poem to my childhood self. I've just been trying to get back into the swing of writing since I've been having writer's block lately. Feels like I've got nothing to write about- although that's far from the truth.

I don't have much for this one, I'll be honest. But it's very lovely, and even the detached feel you get from how you broke everything up really hits. <333
