Ten years ago,

as I look back

my life had just unraveled

two years under my belt

since my mind began to travel

many battles fought

many hurdles crossed

many things unveiled

I had to learn to cut the loss

I used to be so blind

I didn’t know what I know now

and not because I was a dummy

I had just lived life

the best way I knew how

No tools

No knowledge

Not an ounce of common sense

I had never been instructed

On being a decent human

Oh my mistakes did cost me

But they were all worthwhile

Today I can say honestly

Life was worth every trial

Today I tell my old self

“Don’t fret, you did quite well”

It’s the person you’ve become that matters

All the while walking through hell

So give yourself some credit

Life’s has bashed you enough

Embrace the you you are

And bask in your self Love ❤️
