Square One

SQUARE ONE

Young. Beautiful. Independent. Confident.
She must have it all
So they say.

Life has not always been so fair to me.
Took the wrong road so many times, I adjusted to the pain.
Bad decisions. Wrong crowd. Flighty and carefree
That was me

Back to what I feel is square one.
No parties. No money. No friends.
No longer am I the center of all that was fun

Closing my eyes and lowering my head
Black is what I see.
What do I feel?

The peaceful calm of being in my mothers home.
Comfort and a strange peace.
Heavy are the thoughts running rampant in my mind
This life is not fair or easy. People are not kind.

Beautiful and intelligent I am.
Beauty won't keep the bad away as much as it will attract it.

My eyes are starting to open now.
Things are fuzzy. But I don't want to rub them
I will let them see clearly on their own.

All that I had.
All that I did
All that I knew
That is the past

Back to Square One
No.
This is my starting point
My life has just begun

    I think this is a simple write that all of us can relate to on some level.

    "Took the wrong road so many times, I adjusted to the pain.
    Bad decisions. Wrong crowd. Flighty and carefree
    That was me"

    ^A road we all take, of course in our own ways, but so true.

    I like the progression of the piece as well, while many would dwell on all the bad things that have happened, you have made us believe that starting over and truly living is possible if we want it, we just have to go back to square one. Nice work.
