“Identity”
By Ashley O’Hare
Who I am
Who I used to be–
I wish that they could meet.
I wish I could tell myself
that life is not neat.
You can plan for years
with blood, sweat, and tears
and still wind up
back at square one.
If it is meant to be,
it will be.
If it is not,
just breathe.
One day you will see
you should have saved your energy.
You cannot force something to stay
if it fights you every step of the way.
