A poem

Hindsight is 20/20

And they were my lessons

Years go by

And only now I see why

It was just a moment in time

And not forever

.

Kinda funny how speaking it out loud

The things that went wrong

The red flags and green flags

Shines a new light on things

A new clarity to the darkness

Shrouding those memories

The sadness that they’re gone

.

The late nights and tears were worth it, right?

.

But again, lessons

That’s what they were

Finally, I can look back at ease

At what they taught me

How they pushed me a few steps

Toward a better me
