Detours and U-Turns

I wish I was a different person;

I wish my life didn't take

so many detours and U-turns.

 

My past is riddled with negativity,

my background filled with so much 

loneliness and abandonment. 

 

No wonder I latched onto people

that brought me some happiness,

however distorted and convoluted.

 

I had to find my joy where I could

and sometimes that meant getting myself

into desperate and reckless situations. 

 

But I have learned my lessons;

I have turned away from paths

what would lead to my destruction.
