wish I'd known


I wish I knew in the past how great I was

wish I knew myslef better and how much I was worth

wish I knew that I was as beautiful that I now know I am

wish I could go back and let the girl in the past see what I've become, and hope she would be proud

wish I wasn't such a foolish eager girl in the past,it might have saved some hurt

But I'm happpy I now know

not to feel sorry for myself

because what I didn't know then

made me all of what I am proud of now
