Up until recently
man, my life has been tragic
people were drawn to me
like I'm some kind of magnet
and instead of the last
I accepted the first
and of all of types of souls
I attracted the worst
and I used to blame fate
for how things used to be
but now I realize
that it's all up to me
but I hurt all the ones
that were trying to help
told me I thought of them
when it was all myself
and so I was convinced
that I could do no wrong
blamed them all for the things
that were me all along
I thought myself a God
but I was just a clown
and the walls I built up
soon came crumbling down
seen that nothing I'd built up
had actually lasted
and I suddenly realized
almost if by magic
that the seeds that I planted
would all start to grow
so I'll put in the hours
and reap what I sow
Repost from March 26th...again, looking back at this now the amount of personal growth is staggering
