Come back, AdaGrace, forever will you NOT feel ashamed!
If I feel ashamed then I do too.
There will be no redemption for either one of us.
Do you know how foolish I've made myself
wanting someone who doesn't want me,
believing I was good enough?Waking up one day and realizing
I made a fool, a complete and utter fool of myself,
and I made someone uncomfortable with me,
and I can never never never take that back?
Knowing that I could have saved myself
all the risk, all the injury of loving the wrong person,
and yet I barrelled ahead anyway,
allowing my emotions and desires to get the better of me,
leaving the sad parts, the vulnerable hurt parts,
exposed for ridicule?You're not alone. But I wonder.
Should we allow anyone to ridicule us?
Should we do it to ourselves, anymore?
We have a lot to offer.
Perhaps more than we've been given credit for.Oh, AdaGrace.
