Who I Used to Be

by Nikkicola   Oct 29, 2023


I’m sorry for the person I used to be.
For turning into something I couldn’t believe

Truth is that some days I just can’t accept the reality..
Of everyone I shoved aside while trying to float of into the galaxy

I’m sorry for the person I used to be
She let others step all over me

I wish I could forgive everything I’ve ever said
Every awful thing that went through my head

I’m sorry to the person I pretended to see
For letting others change everything I claimed to be

When I tried to keep it together she let me down
Tried to swim but she left me alone and to drown

I’m sorry to the person I am now for having so much guilt
She’d water a plant too much and it would wilt

I’d give and give until there’s nothing left
How did I survive how I felt?

I’m so sorry for not being sorry anymore
I’ve learned so much, I’m not scared like before

I’m so sorry to the girl I used to be
I wish I could go back and hug me…

    I also feel bad for the person I was. I think most people are doing their best and don't realize when they're hurting themselves and others by giving in to people. You really captured the mistakes of the past and the desire to comfort your past self as well now that you've learned.

      Thank you so much! The past can be painful and hard to move past but with a lot of work and forgiveness it is possible :)
