Reflecting

Reflecting 

Reflecting back,
Now I see,
A lot of pain,
A lot of hurt inside me…
I tried so hard to do the right things,
It messed me up constantly…
I cried,
I was so mad,
And most times I was sad…
What’s wrong with me,
I would ask myself,
But I could not answer,
The things I’ve done and went through,
Took all the strength I had…
I had to get it right,
I had to stop the pain,
I wish I could go back and change everything…
I only have this one life to live,
I have to move on,
And have faith and find the strength to carry on…
