Echo

Author's Note:
This is a poem that I wrote trying to show how people remember all negatives that occur, but forget positives.  The domino effect of, if you did something one week, then one time the next, someone remembers that, but forgets all goodness you did in the 14 as well.

I wish my actions sounded louder

Than what I forgot to do

I wish my begging for forgiveness

Was something you could give into

I wish my words did not just melt on you

That they would come off strong

I wish that you would see when I was right

But no, I'm always wrong

I wish that my talents pushed ahead

Of what I cannot do

I wish that my absence in earlier years

Would make up for seeing you

I wish my silence of me so far

Didn't hold me up for who I am now

I wish you could see inside my heart

If only you knew how
