Past and Present


I am my past,

But I am also my future.

I fight against who I used to be,

But I accept how it will change me tomorrow.

I used to accept the fate that I thought was destined,

But now I know that I make my own path.

What doesn't kill me makes my past a stranger,

But what makes me stronger is the lessons I have learned from who I used to be.
