82. I Used To Be You

If I can do it so can you.

I see myself reflected in you

Who I used to be

I was just as bitter as you are still

But now I am no longer

 

I used to wonder why

I didn’t have many friends

Now looking at you

I think I finally understand

 

No one wants to hang around

When all you do is spew

Hatred and unhappiness and anger

No one wants to be subjected that

 

No one likes a negative nelly

Or someone who all they do

Is point out other’s flaws

No one wants to be their friend

 

You’re probably think I have

No room to talk

Because once I was just as bitter as you

But the thing is I got over it

 

I moved on

I changed my attitude

But you’re still stuck in the muck

And now you’re up to your waist, can’t escape

 

It’s unfortunate that even here

You can’t find solace

If she can’t help you then no one can

You’re a lost cause

And it’s a shame because

I’m sure when you were little kid

You weren’t always this way

Maybe once you were as happy as I am now

 

I used to see myself reflected in you

I was just as angry as you

Only I moved on

And you never have

Author's Note

When I was in my mid teens I was, honestly, depressed and angry. Life kind of sucked. Now I know someone who is the same way as I used to be. I used to wonder why people didn't wnat to be around me, but now I understand. WHo wants to be around someone who's always negative?
