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
