Words Unspoken

I've lived but never understood until now that is
don’t ever let a word go unspoken
I've done that so many times so now I’ll tell you
to all the people that lit up my life I say keep shining 
to all the people I hurt I say please understand I truly am sorry although I know it can’t change a thing
to every girl that can’t see how beautiful they are I say open your eyes and look at the mirror for it will show you what beauty is because it is you
to the loved ones I pushed away I say I was not yet ready to face the truth I was too afraid
to all the friends I gave up on I apologize for the greediness I took action on I never meant to hurt you
and to all of you that are reading this please don’t judge me because just as you are I am a human being
to myself I say always be patient and pay attention be prudent in every choice you make
to my family I say I love you and I’m sorry you deserved better than me I’ve always known that I would lose sight of the goals I set and get lost in myself and end up taking it out on you
these are the words left unspoken even now for they can only be read

I've been reading your works. They are well written. This one is sad but so very honest. I find it easier to express my thoughts into words.
