Not Your Mistake

Ruby Franco Rubio Student Contributor, University of California - Santa Cruz
This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Santa Cruz chapter and does not reflect the views of Her Campus.

For our creative writing workshop, I based my response to the poem prompt on the opposite perspective of “Be My Mistake” by The 1975. 

All the hurt fogs your mind

of the memories we left behind.

You view me as the mistake

you refuse to make.

Yet, you are blind.

You, too, make it ache.

 All you do is remind

us both of what was once at stake.
