The Me I Was Before
Pure hatred has consumed me,
both my mind and my soul.
The fire that burns within me
has taken control.
It’s not a need for vengeance
or trying to right a wrong,
but a desire to find the peace within me,
that once was so strong.
The power of love can fill you
with hope of what might be,
and every happy dream
becomes a real possibility.
The hole that’s left engulfs you,
when that gets taken away
and creates a space for evil
to come inside and stay.
The morbid thoughts often scare me
and I’m afraid of who I am.
This person I’ve become,
I just don’t understand.
It was one act of betrayal
that changed me to the core.
I wish I could go back to
the me I was before.
