(Not the prompt)

I recently found a poem that I wrote when I was eleven. I wanted to share it on here because there was something about it that reminded me of you guys💜

It’s called “I Do Too” and I wrote it in the summer at age eleven!

Here goes!

It’s okay

To cry in public

I do too

It’s okay

To wish for gold

I do too

It’s okay

To feel like a devil in a group of angels

I have felt it all

It’s okay

To call in sick when you feel down

I do too

It’s okay

To go wild

Drive yourself crazy

I do too

It’s okay

To accidentally step on your partner’s feet while dancing

Or to not know what you’re doing

I have

Multiple times

It’s okay

To feel like you don’t belong

Felt by me

It’s okay

To have to remind yourself that it’s OK

I forget too

It’s okay

To feel different

And it’s okay

To want to blend in

I do too

It’s okay

To be wrong

And it’s okay

To need a push in the right direction

I do too

We are all

Little seedlings

Being pushed to bloom

Into ravishing flowers

We are all people

When you feel like the only one

Just remember

That I do too

There will ALWAYS be someone there. You will find your way. Step by step :)

I hope you enjoyed this! I was pretty young when I wrote this (as I said earlier) so this obviously isn’t my best work. But I wanted to keep it the way it was, because I wanted to remember myself back then, because as I get less sleep, more memories start to slip away. So this reminder really helps me see myself at this age again.

I hope you liked this, you guys have all been so understanding and kind, thank you for all the support. You are all loved. Each one of you💟💟
