Nov 2014
I was a goody-goody, once upon a time, I did the right things, like going to school, not doing to harm myself.
I remember those days, and THRIVE for a do-over.
I've heard things, while making bad choices, that I wouldn't dream of repeating to my mother.
I've seen things that no other person should have to see, and I've seen people doing things that I pray every night, that I won't get caught up in.
I worry that I will make ALL the wrong choices, and mess my entire life up, beyond return.
I thought I knew what I was doing, but I guess my mom was right, and I know now, I WANT to change.
I will choose to be different than I was before.
I choose to go to school, and make better choices.
I dream of graduating with my 2017 class, and I hope to fulfill my hopes and dreams of becoming an Ultra Sound Technician.
I predict that I will be better, and I KNOW that I can and will be somebody...
I WILL CHANGE!!!
I wrote this in my health class... the teacher told me to be honest... so I did, I don't think people realized how much not going to school can change who you are... Not going to school, and being kicked out a bunch of times, is what led me to this poem..... And now people can realize, that the truth isn't exactly what they expected it to be... especially this truth, the truth from me, a 15 year old teenager, who has had a lot of things happen to her in her life... </3
