I
went through a rocky start,
My parents fought, my mother beat me, my
father sexually abused me,
My father died, my Grandmother passed away,
I became depressed and wore all black,
I contemplated suicide and cut myself,
But I've come a long way since then.
I
hung out with a rough crowd, I tried to
fit in,
I smoked the weed, drank the alcohol.
I needed a place to belong to.
I lost my way, but I've come a long way
since then.
I
remembered the abuse in full detail,
I hoped for revenge and hated more.
I didn't trust anyone, I walked alone.
But I have come a long way since then.
I
thought I would never have a place to belong
to.
I thought I would always be unhappy,
I never would have guessed I would come
out on top.
I checked myself into a hospital
Where my depression faded.
I wore bright clothing, I soon quit cutting
myself.
I still contemplated death, even though
I had my happy pill.
But I've come a long way since then.
I
lost my tough friends, and realized I never
belonged.
I gave up weed and alcohol.
I found a place to belong, but wasn't so
sure about it.
I found my way, but I wasn't quite on track
yet.
I have come a long way since then.
I
forgave my father, and slowly lost the hate.
I grew to love him, and the people around
me.
I learned to trust more, I knew I didn't
walk alone.
But I've come a long way since them.
I
found a family to belong to,
I found true happiness and it wasn't my
pill.
I never would have thought I'd come out
on top.
I lost the hate for my father
And learned the power of forgiveness.
I learned what not to do with my kids from
my mother.
I learned to take life one day at a time,
And in that day to learn, to grow, and to
appreciate everything.
I learned to accept myself, scars and all.
I learned that life can be taken from you,
And suicide shouldn't be an answer.
I learned that drinking and smoking
Only added to my problems,
And didn't get rid of them.
I learned that there are good people out
there,
I've learned to TRUST!
I learned for me to be happy,
I had to be happy with myself first.
I learned that my place is to do the best
I can,
And to do what is right.
I have a family of friends that I love and
trust.
I've got my life on the right track and
I'm happy.
I
had a rocky start,
But look at how far I have come since then!
