Creating Destruction

I have survived my most trying years
Stood up, challenged & overcame my fears
The many twists and turns of my cruel adolescence
Has left me stronger, wiser because of life’s purest essence
Learning, that is, from my careless mistakes for which I’ve paid
Not one thought of regret for any decision I have made
Each slowly shaped the only person I can be
Both horrible & joyous experience is what built me
All I ever wanted was to live my own life
Yet every opportunity shredded with KARAMAs sharp knife
That was life all the way through my furthest memory
Until the day I opened my eyes and what did I see?
All the hurt? All the pain? Where did it lead?
A never ending vine of misery, started with just one seed
Then a whole field of vines revealed with my eyes open wide
Each seed of growth, my decisions, all created inside
I'm past it all, I’ve harvested my crop
Each lesson a fruit, now life begins and I never want it to stop.
