Remember the Old Me?

Do you remember the old me? The one with the broken heart

The one who, no matter what she did, felt broken and torn apart

Do you rememeber the old me? The one who feared everyone around?

The one who thought everyone was laughing at her, even if they didn't make a sound

Do you rememeber the old me? The one who had been betrayed?

The one who tried with all of her might, but felt battered, abused, and slayed

If you remember the old me, the girl who felt alone and secluded

The one who felt they were fakes, liars, and cheaters, the ones she wanted to elude

But you have to fast forward a bit, you'd be surprised what this girl has done

She wiped away her tears, stood up to her fears, and is making her life more fun

The old me had been battered and beaten, she thought life was not worth living

She said to herself that she was tired of trying, tired of all of her honesty and giving

But that was the old me, somebody that I knew and hated

I have drowned all my sorrow, stabbed pity in the back, and now my life is elated

But the story does not end here, you may think that you should give up and cry

Just listen to my words, heed the message with heart, and know that you can heal youself if you try

I used to be like you, trapped in a dark and stormy prison

But I know you are skeptic, and that's okay, but truthfully I have a vision

Despite all of the anxiety and depression, the pain and darker thoughts you think

We can stand together and fight all of the troubles that are causing us to sink

Because you have been in that place, like so many people out there

You've battled your constant demons to hell and back, you've conquered your darkest fears

So don't let your gift of expirence go to waste, so many others need you now

Stand up and be proud that you've won the fight, and now you can show other how...
