Who I was before


Who was I before I was attacked?

I was a nice guy who looked on the bright side of things.

Never saw nothing wrong with the world.

Till one day I saw a guy beating some other guy 

I stepped in

I wish I did not

I spent all my summer in intensive care unit healing

All because he stabbed me in the ribs and punctured a lung

Now I can't trust anyone at all

I think of one person now 

Me!

And now I write Poems to lash out!!

<p>Keep writing and recognize that we are all one. Even the person that stabbed you.. he&#39;s just ignorant. You can open your mind&nbsp;</p><p>and be above the anger. Your happiness should not be up to some bogus person stabbing you.&nbsp;</p>
