Stray Thoughts and Life

I miss a lot of things.
I miss the times where things were simple,
I miss my childhood,
I miss those who left and those I left,
but I'll never forget.

I'm grateful.
I'm grateful for my life,
the things that I've experienced,
the people whom I've met.

I don't like the pain.
The betrayals and the lies,
Because they leave scars and marks
Though they strengthen the heart.

I regret a lot of things.
Not being good enough,
Not being strong enough,
Not being worthy enough.

But still, I'll live my life as best as I can.
