Yesterday Poem by Imaanah Saleem

Yesterday was the day,
And yes,
It was me,
I took that trip,
I made that bet,
And now,
I'm standing free,
Free of all I knew I wanted,
Of what I truly desired,
Free of all I believed would help me climb higher in life,
I opened up my mouth,
Just to draw him near,
Yet my words pushed him away,
Now tell me what is fair,
Well it's his right to choose,
Sadly it wasn't me,
But why am I so sad,
It just wasn't meant to be,
The Lord knows what's good,
I gave my heart,
He could have snatched it,
It's possible I dodged a bullet,
His flaws could be tragic.
