I Am
Judgmental is the way I viewed myself
Envious of happiness others had
Scarred by abuse, bullying, and the death of my friends
Scared to be seen as weak and afraid
Exasperated by my lack of accomplishments
Rock bottom is where I hit
Yearning to get better
Asking my higher power for help
Not expecting to get better
Perseverance to my recovery walk
Opened the door to healing my heart
Not perfect but getting better day by day.
Noting my growth along the way.
Always trying to improve my life
Making a difference with people who struggled like me
Becoming who I was truly meant to be
Able to be honest even when it hurts me.
Loving myself even when its difficult to do so
Able to handle problems that use to baffle and emotionally cripple me.
My worst days now are better that my best days 11 years ago.
