Things Get Better

As I go through my old poems
Looking at what my life used to be
I hated myself and my life
Things have changed so much

I hated my friends
I hated who I was
I felt like I was all alone
And I was

I was afraid to be myself
And my friends couldn't even be considered friends
I was sad and depressed
Thought things were never going to change

This past summer has turned everything around
I graduated from High School
No longer felt like I needed to impress everyone
I could be myself

Along with feeling better
I found amazing friends
And discarded the old ones
It was the best decision of my life

I am not sad anymore
I am not depressed
I love my friends
And most importantly I love myself

My life is perfect now
I have no complaints
It is amazing looking at old poems
and growing from experiences
and knowing that things do get better
