My Life

Take a look at my life Do you see what I see? Take a look at my life Before you decide to judge me. Judge me for who I am Not what Im suppose to be Judge me for what's inside Not just what you see. My life hasn't been perfect Yes I must admit Not receiving what I want But getting what I get. My dad was never around Even though I didn't care My mom gave us what she could Even though he wasn't there. I made some mistakes in my life That I'll give anything to change But I can't keep thinking about the past 'Cause what will I gain. I have to focus on my future And stop reliving the past Why I keep dwelling on what I can't change I always seem to ask? I need to think about what lies ahead And think about my life Cause when it comes down to it It's no one else but mine.

This was very deep, you really revealed your true emotions. I can relate to what you said, I am the type that has lived in the past, always wanting to change, never accepting what is and people on the outside, see what they want to see, not what is. I am doing my best not to think about the past, because you can't change it and it does you no good to dwell on it, there are better days ahead.. I loved it!! Tyesha

This has a very clear and powerful message that many should understand well. The flow is easy going in the read and overall it's a very well written piece. Michael
