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.
