As life goes on for me,
I learn how dark life can be.
I’m reminded
how far i’ve come.
My life is better,
not quite as dark.
I’m learning
to see the light in life.
It’s been a long process.
I’m young; I know that.
Life hasn’t been easy;
I wouldn’t trade it away.
It’s rough for me
to think about the past;
I’m forcing myself to.
That darkness
happened for a reason.
It’s how life works;
Nothing is entirely pointless.
I forget this sometimes.
I’m farther along now;
I’m more happy
than I’ve been before.
I’m closer
to those I care for.
I’m farther along
than I was a year ago.
My Life Story 
Brilliantly touching for someone so young. I’ve been in that dark place as well, but in the darkness I found love. As you so wisely said, it happened for a reason. Know that nothing you have ever done or nothing that has ever been done to you has damaged your soul in anyway. You are wise beyond your years, I honor that in you. Well done.
I’m only 17 years old, so finding that isn’t something I can be sure of at this point. Thank you for the compliments. Glad you enjoy my posts.
