Back then,

I was lost,

Lonely.

I wandered through life with no purpose.

No direction.

Every day was a battle,

That I had to win.

Or risk losing everything,

And ending up with nothing.

Now,

I am found,

Saved.

Each day is a new beginning,

Another adventure about to happen.

All I have to do is smile,

And say yes.

I have everything,

And nothing to lose.

Now,

I don’t recognize the girl I was

Back then.

She’s just a distant memory,

A ghost of the past.

The girl I am now is braver,

Stronger.

And each day the sun shines brighter

Than the day before.

And I,

I meet it head on.

With no fear,

No inhibitions.

The past is long behind me,

A memory lost

But not forgotten.

No, never forgotten.

But it’s a new day, and the clouds have cleared away.
