Not My Goal

He/She is not my goal
It took me the last day of school
To realize that

I heard he/she might go to the magnet school I'm attending
Either way, I don't care anymore
Because he/she is now nothing to me

A bit harsh, I know
But, what else could I say?
I don't think I should apologize at all

A little annoying bird told me
That he/she doesn't like me
Nothing more and nothing less

Right now, I feel... confused
Have I done something to make him/her feel this way?
Have I ever treated him/her badly?

I don't think I have at all
Was it because I acted scary?
No, that's just me defending myself

I'm sure he/she understands... or not
I don't think he/she understands anything at all
Then I realized that I was always misunderstood

I remember that one compliment he/she gave me
He/She called me a 'strong woman'
I gave him/her my respect ever since that day

Even if he/she doesn't like me
I will forever cherish that compliment
Because it's true

Even though I suffer from anxiety disorder and depression
At least I have the enough strength to hide them from everyone by acting tough
Because I want them to know that I'm strong

I can also show that I'm strong by saying:
"He/She is no longer my goal!"
With pride and self confidence

Does he/she doesn't like me because
He/She thinks I'm too good for him/her?
Or because he/she ran out of time for his/her confession towards me?

I once cried myself to sleep thinking of it
But now I wake up stronger
I am now back to my care free life

The most difficult step of grieving process
Is to accept it and move on
It took me about two months to do so

My wings have fully grown
Now I must fly out of that nest
And find a goal suited for me

I'm not saying that goal was difficult to me
I'm saying that goal wasn't destined for me
Its time to move on

Either that goal wasn't meant for me
Or that goal was meant to achieve later on
I always thought of it that way

I guess it'd be okay if we were considered as friends
As along as we meet every once in a while
Because that would be wonderful

We may haven't talked for months
But I always felt a connection between us
I guess it was a false alarm

Ever since I heard that he/she didn't like me,
I was trying to convince myself that didn't like him/her either
To burn and bury my feelings towards him/her

I even prayed to find out the answer
Then I realized it was his/her problem
Not mine

My friends are probably pissed at me
But it's my life
They can't control my decisions

Also realized that I fell in love with another girl
But she had feelings towards a boy
I think it's better if we stayed like friends

I accepted it pretty quickly
Because we are good friends
And we're comfortable with each other

The girl that gave me hugs
Fell in love with another girl
Now she can hug her with pure love

To be honest,
I feel better being single
But I would like some company on the way

My love life is complicated
Because being single is actually the best
It helps me focus on school more

But it also felt nice
Being in love with someone
It also helps me write beautiful poems

From happy romantic poems
To depressing forbidden love poetry and back again
It felt like an amazing journey

He/She is not my goal
But it was nice trying to work on achieving
I just got depressed that I worked for nothing

No, maybe it was a headstart
If I see that goal again with pure passion and determination,
I'll finish it in no time

Like I said,
It's time to move on
And publish this poem for everyone to read
