I am a Bad person!

Am I a bad person because I made him cry?
A bad person because I lied to her when she asked
“ How do these jeans look on me?”
A bad person for denying feelings
That were clearly there?
 
Am I a bad person when I hated her
Because he liked her and not me?
A bad person for protecting myself
From a beating with white lies?
 
Am I a bad person because I don’t pray enough
Because I couldn’t tell that boy no
A bad person because of my big mouth
Or my judgmental nature?
 
Am I a bad person for putting myself first
Even if it broke the other person?
A bad person for cursing under my breathe
When my mom asked me to help her?
 
I sit on my room floor
Thinking about the mistakes I made
And I see how easy it is
To think all these mistakes are me.
 
I am not a “ bad person”
Nor would I say “ good”
I am just a person who continues to
Learn.

It’s okay to make mistakes.
