Maybe some hope

[Water-Lily]

My father and I talked today

I was hesitant with my feelings at bay

But I figured I would try

And I was quite surprised

I asked him about his childhood

And found it was similar to mine

But when I asked if he was jealous of others

Nothing came to mind

He figured the best he could do

Is live a better life than he was given

That is in his control

Seeing that kind of inspired me

To see what is in my control

Regardless I still wish my life was better

That might not change

But maybe, just maybe

I could try to thrive

Thanks. Im trying to challenge myself to write poetry on a daily basis. Inspired from my last college class I want to write more. But I feel like I am not good lol.

Idk if it means much but I'm also a writer (creative and creative nonfiction) and usually I'm not a big poetry fan but you should def keep at it! I get very Milk and Honey mixed with Ellen Hopkins vibes.

Thanks for the nice comments guys. I mean, my mental state is all over the place. Though this is a healing poem, I may very well be posting more in the suicide thread since suicidal thoughts is a big part of my life sadly. I might be a Debbie downer a bunch and might seem crazy with my thoughts but that's what happens when you have BPD.
