In My Hands Poem by Amber Millar

Yes, I care what you think,
I always have, always will,
I make an impression but I always fall short,
I could be so much more,
More for you, more to you,
If I just pushed a little further,
Just worked a little harder,
Maybe everything would be different,
It could have been better, could have been worse,
Maybe I was wrong to force myself into a box,
Maybe I was right to make myself better,
This is the only thing we have left,
The only truth in all the lies,
The statement amongst all the secrets,
I can wish and wish that things were different,
But this is my life and it will happen however it happens,
I could let you take control,
But this is in my hands now...
