It happened so long ago I can barely remember who I was.

When I look in pictures it's hard for me to recall who I'm standing next to.

Did I leave them feeling used? Like so many others.

Mistakes one after another. I knew that I had to change.

I felt the sunrise against my skin. It felt so perfect.

I knew I had to become a better person.

I saw my son's eyes shine into mine.

I knew I had to make amends with my enemies.

I am so sorry for everything I did.

To everyone, that I've ever done wrong to,

I have to live with what I did.

Some of those long nights we had they never seemed to end.

Nothing really to be proud of but at least I had my friends.

Those times were perfect.

I wouldn't trade them for anything.

I could keep on wishing that they were different,

or realize that this is who I am.

The person I wanted to be.

I will always be a fighter.

When the world throws it's punches at me, I'll be standing.
