Never too late

It pains me to say

but it’s even worse to see you treat others this way.

It probably doesn’t matter to you or else why is it what you do?

Your first thought will be revenge but within that you must drive a wedge

of that mindset where you’re never in the wrong,

close off that chapter and find a more realistic place to belong.

Get out of your head because then you might just see

what you’re doing to the person that did not foresee

the anger you harbor towards them or it will be

too late.


Hi everyone! (It feels weird addressing you all in such a light tone after that rather moody poem πŸ˜‚). I wrote this a couple of months ago and now that I’ve gotten back to it I can’t actually remember much of the backstory behind it. The frustration was reserved for that moment in time and now I feel like an outsider looking in on that display of emotion.

It’s strange how we can feel things so strongly in a moment and then they go as fast as they materialized, or so it seems when looking back πŸ’«. I’m rediscovering a lot of these scribbles in my journal like when I found that attempt at a day in the life from the 1st of January which I shared HERE (for anyone who’s ever wondered, I always put that in capitals to remind myself to fill it in with a link πŸ™ˆ and I leave it like that for the fun of it πŸ˜‚).

In a sense I’m putting these thoughts to rest as that couldn’t be done by just letting them sit idle in my notebook. Usually I’ll feel an air of nostalgia when writing poems about certain events (that’s probably just the nice ones though πŸ˜‚) but with this I feel relief that I’m no longer in the frame of mind it took to write it despite still believing in those words and it being therapeutic to share them + release that sadness. In other words we’re ending the post on a high! πŸ˜‚πŸ™Œ

Thank you for reading! 😊 In regards to the poem, Do you think it’s ever too late? πŸ’« And also, do you write poetry? I’m intrigued to know how you feel when you look back on thoughts that took all of your energy to write before leaving you feeling tired/refreshedπŸƒ. Does anger radiate off of some or maybe regret? Am I asking too much of some people in wanting them to share? 😌 Don’t worry, your thoughts won’t lead me to probe about the poem in question despite my nosy nature πŸ˜πŸ˜‚ I’m more interested in the emotion behind them so let me know in the comments below and I hope you’re having a lovely day βœ¨πŸ’•

  1. The poem is beautiful, Elsie. And I probably haven’t mentioned this before, but I love your explanations after a piece of writing when you talk about the emotions and thoughts behind the piece of writing, or simply those that you are feeling. It really feels like a conversation between close friends and makes me feel so much closer to the posts you share! ❀

    1. Ahhh Arshia that is so kind of you!! I like it not to come across as a random outburst so I often feel the need to explain myself and then feel like I’m straying from the point πŸ˜‚ so this comment made me smile and feel better about that, really appreciate it πŸ€—βœ¨πŸ’•

  2. This was a beautiful poem! Yes I do write poems on my blog. I’d love it if you could check it out.
    I also agree about writing poems when one is feeling a strong emotion. Those poems do seem to appear on a different level.
