When Was It Easy? Poem by nakisha richards

We are at the peak of our lives where things begin to change, life was so full of regrets so there was no room to rearrange.so many lies were being told so there was never room to explain.So when do we start over and clean the slate, begin a new chapter in our life maybe find fate.When do we get to push foward and forget the bad memories, leave our past in our farthest thoughts where it never was but should be.when do we forgive our enemies when do we forget that pain that left us with scars, when does happy get to be free from behind bars.we seak our happiness in the dakest places, why? why does our joy have to be hidden under so much grief.so much heartache left us blind so when we see love happiness joy we blindly stare at it in disbalief.I am no longer blind I ignore my past until I am ready to recap, I am no longer regretful because my mistakes were learned and i am no longer a doormat.Believe me when I tell you being hurt is never easy, But I stand strong because someone is always going to need me.
