Life wasn’t what I thought
hoped or even dreamed
as I sat you looking at me
I could see the pain in your eyes
I could tell you were upset
and as I walked away that day
I let it go
because to me you were a ****
then three years later
I lie in a made bed
looking at a guy I didn’t know
I am sure he saw the pain
just as I saw yours
I am a kid
a kid who lived in fear
lived in pain from the choices
I made
now a year later
I sit and rejoice
I have learned from the past
I have sat and listened to my heart
I am still a kid
Still a growing girl
but I have changed
in the best way I could
I am a new girl
