Here I Am

Here I am lost,

Lost in a world I don't fit in,

In a situation I can't understand.


I know what I've done,

I know why I'm here,

I know what I need to do.


I want to start again. 

Give me a chance,

I'm ready to start over.


I don't know what I've become, 

Who am I?

What was I thinking?


I've learned from my mistakes,

I've paid for them,

I'm ready to start again.

You notice how you didn't treat your close friends and family how they should've been treated – that can be a thing that affects you most of all. You will have times when it devastates you, but I say use it as motivation to do better and be better. You've always got to remember that emotions are temporary; you will never feel the same all the time, so be prepared for sadness, upset, boredom and loneliness. But don't let that cloud you from enjoying what's good. Emotions can be a confusing thing; sometimes you can control them, and sometimes you can't. That can translate into life itself as well – you never know what is going to happen, but you can choose the little things and hope to have some control. Things go wrong all the time.
