My Life

by Barbara   Aug 16, 2007


If I knew then what I knew now
I wouldn't change a thing about my life.
It hasn't been all rainbows and butterflies.
There's been a lot of compromise and strife.

But still I wouldn't be the same me,
if I hadn't gone through my tribulations and trials.
I wouldn't be a strong, independent, compassionate woman.
I'd probably be all preppy, focused on fashion and styles.

Some can be all that in one.
Compassionate, yet preppy. Mild, yet fun.
But that just isn't who I want to be.
I'm more about fixing my mistakes and making sure my lies are done.

Some people learn from past mistakes and try not to repeat them.
Others carry the regret but keep making the same mistakes over and over again.
I make mistakes and try to learn, but they always break me in half.
Still, I have not time for regret. I just have to take time to let my heart mend.
