The Person I Use To Be

The person I was BEFORE is in the past for a reason Have spent alot of time trying to change day by day But often times those who dont even know you Sure have alot of criticisim and things to say Use to have a bad habit of caring what others think Why do they chose to see what they want to see? I have made many mistakes I regret in my life But I chose to let it all go and be FREE People often judge without even realizing their doing it Heres an idea be quiet and let me speak give it a try Walk a mile in these tattered shoes Than feel free to question my reasons WHY Dont label a person based on first impression I never claimed to be perfect thats absurd Give me a chance get to know me Dont base your opinions on what you heard I have worked hard to come to this place in my life Open your heart Im sure you to have a few regrets The difference between you and I is I am open minded I prefer to treat people with dignity and respect Choices I have made at times not the best Sometimes things happen for reasons unknown No explanation no rhyme or reason Took it as a lesson and a made them my own Life is to short I try not to take it for granted Every regret a lesson that I have been given Tomorrows a NEW day to start again I shall get up go on and keep on living I could sit around and wallow in self pity What would be the point in that what would it teach? Want to be a good example to my beautiful daughter Let go of the regret and everything is within your reach No more wasting my thoughts on past regrets Accept my mistakes they have made me strong Cant change them now anyway its to late Only choice is to dust off and MOVE ON
