Jillian Tate Poet Free verse

If Only

Stop running away,
you have to forgive and forget to move on.
Forgive yourself for past mistakes.
If only you'd been stronger.

Stop your tears,
just wipe them away.
It's time to move forward.
If only you'd been stronger.

Leave all your regrets
conquer your fears
Just smile away your pain
If only you'd been stronger

You might still be here
