Messed up

It was a bad day

I might have messed up
But I am not my mistakes
I eventually fessed up
And now, I'll do what it takes

To not look back
And keep moving forward
And not look at what I lack
But look at what I'm working toward

They may not see the change in me
But it's really not for them
I can only prove to myself
That I am good enough
And I can be happy

I wish people understood what I went through
And could see me now
And think that maybe 
I am strong enough for this
I can handle life
And I am good enough for someone out there
Good enough to smile.
And stay alive for a longer while

Anything I need to work on?

To cause people to understand what you went through is a sometimes difficult thing to do. If they know your circumstances and still are not friends enough to speak to you of it and offer their support, in all likelihood they are much to self absorbed. In that case they are a lost cause and you'd be better off without them hanging round.
