I used to be a different person
I used to never be this way
I was always angry and negative
and I cut after school each day
I was lonely and misreable
I never wanted to go  to school
I was so focused on what others said
simply because I wasn’t cool
I used to hate myself
the color black was my security blanket
whenever stress would come my way
I’d stay home because I couldn’t take it
I missed many days of school
because I was so depressed
I had no energy to take care of myself
so I always looked like a mess
It was really hard to become
the person I am today
I went from quiet and shy
to always having something to say
I went through a lot of challenges
some that I regret
but I have to remember to not take on so much
I’m not done healing just yet
life gets better everyday
that’s something that I’m grateful for
I’m happy that I’m alive
I don’t want to die anymore
Life is challenging of course
but I’m so ready for this ride
I’m ready to be who I really am
I’m no longer going to hide
