I Am

I'll always remember you
If only because of what you put me through
But it made me see
What I can truly be
We all learn things in life
I learned mine through strife
I may have fell
But it turned out well
I am who I am
The only bad thing in the end
Is that I can't find my old self again
Will it ever mend?
I am who I am
I have ran
From myself
Trying to see how I felt
It's not there anymore
The person I was before
I think its Ok, I say
I am who I am
No matter what comes my way

This is a very special introspective piece. You will become more and more as your days continue and still in ways that matter you will be the same. A belated welcome to the soup, you seem a thoughtful young woman.

Thanks! Yeah, the best way for me to visualize it is for me to think if it was happening to me. :)
