Understand Why People Love Me?
I know you feel guilty,
I know you know why,
but why did you do it?
Were you angry or scared?
or worried that nobody loves you?
I’m the one you hurt and I forgive you,
and I’d like to help you not feel guilty anymore.
That’s why I’m asking these questions, like:
What about me upset you?
Was it something I said or did?
Did I remind you of someone you don’t like?
or someone you were told to be afraid of?
someone you think is beneath you?
I would like to understand my part,
the role in which you’ve cast me,
so I can help YOU understand it,
understand that sometimes I don’t know what I believe,
and sometimes I’m so angry I feel like I can’t be a good person,
and sometimes I get lonely,
so lonely I think about dying
because the things that make me proud of myself might not make others proud of me.
I have an idea of what love is
but I wonder sometimes if I’ve ever really felt it, for myself or anyone else;
sometimes I worry I don’t deserve it.
Do you ever feel that way?
Love always,
your Mister
