Along The Way


At a young age, I imagined a world that was bright

Through rose colored lens

It was a world that only I saw in a colored light

Throughout my childhood, barely bent

 

As I reached the age of 13, it was when it happened

I had become depressed and unable to ask for help

Problems kept piling on top of each othe and I was mad

Angry at myself for being in this situation yet still looking for light in myself

 

I barely took care of myself and physically didn't look like it either

I mean, I was a mess

It wasn't until I met her

The person who helped me realize that along the way, i'll be fine

 

You might wonder who she might be

Well in fact she's someone whose always been there with me even until now

Along the way, she helped me find myself again 

She was in fact my inner conscience

 

I " glowed " up not because I started taking care of my outer self

I became the woman I am today because of my adversities 

They made me understand that I can help myself

Which is why 4 years later, at age 17, I'm about to take a big step in my life in graduating
