PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Life as I know it,

I am25,

Its amazing how life can change,

Sometimes in a matter of hours,

I felt going to school,

And having someone special in my life was going to make me happy,

A part of me was happy for a little bit,

But a part me thinks I was doing it for others,

And not myself,

I know now I can’t do that,

I need to do what is going to make me happy,

Now,

Not for others,

If I want to,

Sleep all day,

Be outside,

Look at the stars,

Do things for other,

Be with family and friends,

Read a book,

Or,

Write a poem,

That makes someone smile,

And watch the flowers grow,

That is what I am going to do,

Not for others,

Just for me,

I like who I am,

I did not feel like me,

I was feeling like someone I did not know,

And that is the worst feeling,

I like who I am,

I have been through so much,

Its amazing where I am,

And where I have come from,

I am 25,

And I like who I am.
