Brandy, your pain and anguish are not only the first step to being the person you want to be, but a source of inspiration to others who need to hear the same dose of self inspection.My granddaughter read your poem and with tears flowing hugged me and told me that this was her life on the screen. We are going to try counseling. God Bless and keep writing. Love from Will and Lexie

Wow, such raw emotion, it seems this person is very down on theirself. We all make huge mistakes, and it gets very hard to turn things around, with strong support be it family, friends or religion, you can find yourself and God again. I am sure you find alot of people can relate to this in their own ways. The poem holds the readers interest, follows the title, good work,The emotion really flows. Judy Riley
