About Juwann

This poem is about one of my flaws that I am currently working on to change.

I always try to bite off more than I can chew when in reality I don’t have to

I thought that I can do everything alone

But of course I was wrong

I was the type to lay in my misery

Because I didn’t want help

Although I needed it so badly

I chose to rely on myself

One of the worse decisions to make

And absolutely one of the dumbest

All of my friends would love to help me

And silly of me to run from it

I had to get out of the mindset that I was in

Because I wasn’t in a good place

I always had this preconceived notion

That if a person got mad they’ll bring up what they done for me in my face

I hope this reaches someone

Someone that has been battling silent battles

There’s help everywhere

Maybe even right beside you

About the Creator

Juwann Cook

I feel like poetry are the things that we want to say but society will look at us weird for the feelings that we have about something or someone, to make it easier for ourselves and others we just put it in writing.
