REFLECTING INWARD
<p>
I spent so many years reflecting inward<br>
Only spending time with myself<br>
I knew who I was<br>
I knew what I wanted to become <br>
I was my only true friend <br>
The only one I ever trusted <br>
I was my own best friend <br>
The only one I ever needed <br><br>
Time passed and I grew up <br>
I grew away from my thoughts<br>
I was no longer sure of who I was <br>
Or what I wanted from life <br>
My friends became my support <br>
But no one was my best friend<br>
No one was there for me for everything <br>
No one could help me be sure with my life <br><br>
I wandered lost for years<br>
Coming out of the darkness <br>
But always retreating back <br>
In fear of the future <br>
Everything was going along<br>
Happening with out me even trying <br><br>
Years passed and into adulthood I went <br>
As lost as a meek child <br>
The mistakes I made were mounting <br>
The corrections I tried were pointless <br>
My problems were burring me <br>
There was no escape <br><br>
I tried to get a hold on my life <br>
I knew I had to fix things <br>
I knew things had to change <br>
And they had to change now <br><br>
I resolved to fix things <br>
To make my life better <br>
A new boyfriend, new friends <br>
A new outlook on my life <br><br>
I wanted to reflect inward <br>
To help my own self <br>
To start making good decisions <br>
To gain the control I had once before I began on the path <br><br>
Took the first steps myself <br>
And then someone offered a hand <br>
The first true act of friendship <br>
I grabbed on and held <br>
I was scared to make the turns by myself <br><br>
But now as I stand <br>
The dependence is clear <br>
My strength is not my own <br>
My weaknesses are shared <br>
I need to be on my own <br><br>
I need to reflect inward <br>
I need to find a peace within myself <br>
The ability to be happy with me <br>
I need to love myself <br>
Before I can completely love him
