I realized something
we may get to write
or rewrite our own story
but we can't dictate
how we'll be remembered
I was hoping that I'd be
remembered for being
an amazing friend with
the best intentions
a kind soul who always
offered affirmations
that could be life changing
maybe it's the latter
but I should've known
even my own father
who also ghosted me
had a quote on his wall
written by yours truly
and he'll even know
neither will any of you
some of your favorites
under many different names
hanging on your walls
posted on social media
sometimes I wonder if
you know it was from me
would it still be your favorite
intrusive thoughts
fueled by loneliness
they don't last long
so don't worry about me
I don't intend to stop
using my words
to encourage others
because no matter how
you remember me
if I remember who I am
and never forget to smile
the story just writes itself
