Please Understand Poem by Aidan Dubois

Don’t look at me for what I’ve done.
Look at me for what I’m doing at this moment.
Yes, it’s true.
I made a mistake.
But that shouldn’t change the way you feel about me.
That shouldn’t change who we are and who we use to be.
Everything can stay the same.
The only difference now is that I have wisdom under my belt.
So please understand that I’m sorry.
Please understand that I’m still the same goofy guy you met ten years ago.
