Young. Beautiful. Independent. Confident.
She must have it all
So they say.
Life has not always been so fair to me.
Took the wrong road so many times, I adjusted to the pain.
Bad decisions. Wrong crowd. Flighty and carefree
That was me
Back to what I feel is square one.
No parties. No money. No friends.
No longer am I the center of all that was fun
Closing my eyes and lowering my head
Black is what I see.
What do I feel?
The peaceful calm of being in my mothers home.
Comfort and a strange peace.
Heavy are the thoughts running rampant in my mind
This life is not fair or easy. People are not kind.
Beautiful and intelligent I am.
Beauty won't keep the bad away as much as it will attract it.
My eyes are starting to open now.
Things are fuzzy. But I don't want to rub them
I will let them see clearly on their own.
All that I had.
All that I did
All that I knew
That is the past
Back to Square One
No.
This is my starting point
My life has just begun
