my story

how I feel about where I am going in my life

I refuse to be ashamed of my past,

because how am I to help others, 

if I cant share my story with them?

I love my story, 

it is filled with

love, adventure, fear, pain, regret, excitement and most importantly,

Redemption

I have been redeemed by someone who will never leave me

and I want to share that same love with you that I have been given

I want every person I meet to know that 

their past,

their past does NOT define their future

my past of depression, anger, drugs and alcohol

does not define my future,

my future which is to be

bright, exciting and brilliant!

yes, I will go through more pain

yes, I will be hurt again

but in the end

It doesn't matter who I was

or what I did

all that matters now is 

who I am 

and who I am trying to be.

Too good. I can empathise since "my past of depression, anger, drugs and alcohol" was redeemed by my spiritual mentor who never leaves me

This was so good. I think everyone who reads this will be filled with the emotions you displayed about life. I can definitely feel it. You are such a strong, passionate poet!

A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF WRITING BUT NEED LITTLE FOCUS ON RHYME SCHEME.

[Rosegal95]
