I�m 20..

What a year.. Its not about the gifts that people have gotten for me.. Its about the love that they have given me..

I’m 20..

What a year it was..

It went so fast,

Like a blink of an eye

It seemed like yesterday

I was in college

With all my friends

They gave me a cake

And sang to me, giving me so much attention..

Since then I lost and gain new friends

I learn to except some people that I have grown to love

People I’ve known have been sent to the sky..

My sisters and I have become closer than ever

Because I simply forgave them..

I still have my lovely parents behind me

Their love and care is what keeps me going

I said goodbye to the ones I love most

I got a job working in a kitchen, its not the best, but its something

I completed a huge battle that I thought I wouldn’t been able to,

I graduated from college..

My heart got broken by a boy that I have forgotten about..

Because I am strong inside, even though I thought I would never make it

And I met someone that cares and loves me for ME..

And as the hours fade into my birthday

I think back at what I have accomplished in the year that has gone by

As much as I wanted to give up, break down, and lose the battle

I kept my feet moving and fighting each weapon that was thrown at me..

And I am prepared to do it all over again for another year.

First thank you for the read request for this beautiful piece. I think you wrote a piece about be 20 that for the 15 years or so you can revise this wonderful piece by just changing the age and up date what you are doing. Loving people who have to, losing people that you need to and hopefully replacing the people that left was part of my life since I can remember. I love the piece. Write on.

I'm so glad you didn't give up. The world is a much better place with you in it :). The years may fly by, but we always learn from everything (good, and bad) that happens. This is a big moment in your life, coming out of your teen years, so I hope you make the best of it. I am very happy that even though there were some hardships you have lived your life so well..Keep going! :)
