One Year Ago
It was one year ago
The first poem I wrote
I picked up a pen
In my efforts to cope
It was one year ago
I was in a dark space
Stuck between a rock
And a very hard place
It was one year ago
My lowest I went
I let myself slip
Time waisted I spent
It was one year ago
That I hated myself
So I picked up a pen
In my efforts to help
It was one year ago
That I made a change
Lost in my head
So I wrote on a page
It was one year ago
I thought I was failing
My life was in chaos
Thought I was derailing
It was one year ago
How I hated my thoughts
So I picked up a pen
In my efforts to stop
It was one year ago
No I haven't looked back
Still writing today
To keep me on track
It was one year ago
Now over 200 poems
It's my way to beat
My emotions and show them
It was one year ago
I don't feel the same
I still pick up a pen
In my efforts to change
