A Year Ago

A year ago…..

A year ago you could have asked me to run away and never look back

A year ago you could have took the one thing I have

A year ago you could have said for me to stay

But a year ago I was dumb and stupid, I was

Weak and childish, I didn't care what would happen to me

Or who would take me

A year ago I just wanted things

A year ago you could have turned me bitter

Or turned me sweeter

A year ago you could have had everything you need.

But a year ago I wouldn't have the things I have now.

I wouldn’t have my wonderful boyfriend

I wouldn’t have my favorite place in the world at my fingertips

I wouldn’t have all the amazing life

So A year ago….

Yes you could have asked me to run

To hide

To even have fun and not think twice

A year ago you could have told me stories

I would believe to be true

But I know they aren’t now

A year ago you could have said

That the earth was flat

Yet we all know the earth is round

A year ago tho….

I was a child

Who didn’t know right from wrong

Who did drugs

Who lost friends do to drugs

Who lost people because of my actions

A year ago tho….

You could have told me that life was going to be great doing what I was

But a year ago I would have believed you.

Yet A year later I am standing here

Writing this out to you

Yes you reading this

That you are not the person you were a year ago

Not even who you were yesterday or and hour ago

You are you.

A year ago or not you overcame everything

To stand right here in front of your computer, tv, laptop, phone

Or whatever

A year ago you would never have imagined you getting this far

A year ago we would never have met

A year ago we would never be where we are

A year ago things were different

We made a life, a purpose a year ago

But we made history now

We beat the odds

Took control and became bigger

Nothing from a year ago matters anymore

Once we were kids a year ago

Once we didn’t know better a year ago

Once a year ago we walked away

We showed the way

We are making things better

Life goes on

Happiness is true

Life is born

A year ago this wouldn’t be possible

A year ago I wouldn’t have this

A stable life

A handsome husband

A place for me

A year ago I wouldn’t know this

What life would be like

To live side by side

With the ones who care

A year ago I would have said to give up

That theres nothing out there

But A year later

I’m telling you

Don’t give up

Don’t lose faith

Note*

It is written like this because at one point it all made sense to me like that. It’s written like that so I may always add to each line if need be.

I will say this.

A year ago was written at my most worst time in my life, when I was so down I couldn’t be myself for any reason at all. I took this into action after writing and made my life what it could be not what I had written down on some paper and online. Please if things are bad and you think no one is here to talk to, I am and will always be. Just comment and I will be here the best I can. I know the pain.
