Poem Title:
Poem
Is it fair to judge someone based on their experiences in life and write about them? I've been told that I express too many feelings about my past... How can that be? Why would someone say that? My feelings were hurt...I used to be an introvert... Not anymore..I've lived. I've learned. I admit I have been burned... Days turned into months and months into years, and here I landed, where I am at this exact moment in my life. I have been through hell and back...and back again and I know many people have too. Whats the difference?? I find that writing about my past brings healing, and healing helps me learn lessons and lessons turn into blesso'ns. My accumulation of knowledge I own today has expanded far from my yesterday's. My internal knowledge I share today brings increasing hope for my tomorrow's. My present remains just that. An intermediate between the past and future. And today is a gift. I haven't always felt this way. See, no matter the circumstance no matter the reasoning no matter what the false people proclaim, I am me...I am here.. and I am proud of myself. It would be amazing if there is someone out there who has been through the same thing I have been through and felt a sense of hope and redemption. I have conquered addiction. I have faced many losses. But.. I also have fought through them with all my energy and every ounce of determination I had. Writing about my obstacles and how I faced them brings a sense of healing through my pen onto paper. Many have been where I have been. Many know about loss and the convictions I have faced. I am not afraid to share my circumstances because they made me who I am today. And I wouldn't want to be anyone else in this world. I am Laura.... This is who I am.... Date Written: January 14, 2016 Written By: Laura Loo (and proud of it)
