Looking Back: Journey To The Past Poem by Lee John Siebritz

Looking back
I realized that the things
I went through was worth it

Looking back
I realized how I have grown
As a person

Looking back
I remember
Nights of tears and heartache
Of loneliness and despondency

Looking back
I realized
That not many make it to the top

Looking back
I realized
That I had to mature quicker
Than my peers

Looking back
I realized
That one
Has to be strong
In this cold world

Looking back
I realized
That friends come and go
But God
Will always be there

As I close my eyes
I realize
That I have been blessed
God has saved me from eternal damnation
