I'm so sick of being seen as someone I'm not.
Why judge by my past when the present has me changed beyond belief?
Don't hold me to my previous actions while I fight to move on myself.
You weren't there for the journey, so don't look down as though I'm below you.
I didn't see you when I was slipping; where were you while I was falling?
And now that I'm standing, you deem it okay to throw stones?
Well go ahead.
Because while you've been playing with pebbles, I've been facing mountains.
And I'm more ready today than I've ever been in my whole life.

Lately I've been really aware of the way other people perceive and treat me and it really bothers me. They act as if I'm still who I was three years ago. And while they've remained the same, I've turned into a whole new person and changed for the better. I've grown into my own opinions and faced the consequences while they've played it safe and stuck to the status quo.
