I Am Not the Young Poet Anymore
by Mary Panza
I expected too much from you
That is why I have been mad
For so long
I am sorry
You are who you are
As scared and as unsure as the rest of us
I am the one who was unfair
I wanted you to be larger than life when you weren't
Now I am in your shoes
It is not a comfortable fit
I wanted you to hurt as bad as I did
The whole time not realizing that I couldn't even come close to your
Hurt
Forgive my arrogance
Forgive my innocence
Forgive me
I read the book
I get it now
I am not the Young Poet anymore
