THE PATH

The path i took

Was hard,

Where an another person would not stand

I went through so much

At times i felt like giving up

There is a battle

Everyday in my life

And every time i felt like i could not pass it

I would think about the past

And how i overcame everything

I went through a rough path

A path of physical and mental abuse,

Self destruction,

Depression,

Back stabbed,

Brokenness,

No friends - maybe just three or four

My life was a living mess

I was always dependant

Lived in a lonely corner

And was traumatized

But then everything changed

After i got a new life

A new career

New friends

Everything i ever dreamed of in my life

Came true

I wanted a job

To show people i can be independent

i can have a second chance in life

I can be hard working

I can be changed

I can have a new start

I can be like every one else

I can have friends

I can be respected

And i can respect others and love them too

I wanted to have friends

And yes i did

I wanted

To show the people who abused me

Saying, "now i am not a weak person,

I am different"

"The path i took was the most difficult thing in my life

But it is because of that path, i am here today"
