To Whom It May Concern

To Whom It May Concern

A Poem by Himaya Ka
"

So let's face this sad and painful truth. You don't know me and I don't know you.

"
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

To be true, honest, just and pure
To think lovely things and of good report
This is what I want to do
This is what I determine to pursue

The truth is I am not you 
And you are not me
But everytime you come to appear
It seems you want my image to disappear

If only you can accept me for who I am
If only you respect my own identity
But you always let me feel this way
Like it's a big mistake to be me

With all honesty this is happening
You make me feel so uncomfortable
Mostly you only come to criticize
To laugh, to ridicule, and to belittle

Maybe these thoughts are unreasonable
Maybe you have nothing but good intention
Maybe you're right and I am wrong
I'm sorry I just can't deny how it plays

If you feel judged unjustly
The feeling is mutual sad to say
Maybe we just don't know each other
Yet we pressume we do for so long

So let's face this sad and painful truth
You don't know me and I don't know you
I think this is fair and just for us to do
So to define each other we have no right

Let's empty our minds about each other
You don't have any idea about me
Neither do I about you
In this manner thoughts are made pure

Let's agree to think whatever is lovely
Let's eradicate all negativity
Let's shut up if we have nothing good to say
Let's wait until our hearts are both ready

Ready enough to hear what's necessary
Ready enough to embrace the reality
Ready enough to accept even if it hurts
Ready enough to express the right words

Words that will never be misinterpreted
Words that will be appreciated
To whoever will come to listen
To whom it may concern

For if it concerns you
It also concerns me
Everyday to God I pray
That we'll be okay one day

Let this one day come very soon
If not next week maybe tomorrow
Or why not come this very day
Life is short so let's begin today
