Who I Am Now
I am in the summer of my 16th year.
everyday is a change,
a new beginning.
I am a new person.
I have learned to not make the mistake I once made…
to stop looking in the future and start appreciating the present.
I am trying to not waste time because it doesn’t slow down.
No matter what one does, what one says, time is forever,
and so therefore life will always continue.
I am trying to make the most of my life,
to become spiritually connected to who I am as a person,
to look deeper into my soul and put the pieces together.
My mind was not how it was when I was born,
but has been filled with an overflow of thoughts
that are deeper than I have ever known.
I am a believer of creativity and expression.
I love art and the idea of creating something amazing out of a single thought.
I do what makes me happy and not what I know others think should be done.
I am who I am,
and I am slowly learning to accept that.
