Wouldn’t

I wouldn’t be
As strong
As I am today.

I wouldn’t be able
To get past
My mistakes,
And pick
Myself up
From falling.

I’d constantly
Have no clue
About the world
And
All the bad things
People could do
To one another.

If he didn’t hurt
Me.
I wouldn’t be

M E

If I wasn’t who
I am today,
I wouldn’t have
What I have.

I wouldn’t need
What I need.
Because
I wouldn’t
Be me.

I wouldn’t love
How I love,
And I wouldn’t
Think, so deeply
About everything.

I would’ve done
Things so much
D i f f e r e n t l y

Then again…

If it didn’t happen,
If I wasn’t hurt,
If I wasn’t me,
I wouldn’t know,
I wouldn’t know
Who
I am.


Because
Nothing would be
The same.
