One year
May 24, 2010
it’s been a year
one long year
365 days ago
you changed my life
turned me from that quiet girl
breathed in me
gave me life
turned me into this model
model of what you wanted me to be
the problem was
this model wasn’t me
it was an evil thing with unhealthy motives
and evil eyes
the only thing
that slipped through it’s mouth was lies
lies that got so complicated
I couldn’t even get up with it
then karma bit me in the ass
I had to turn around
and run back to my old life fast
very little old friends would take me back
I know I hurt then
but I deserve a second chance
so I took what I learned and I walked away
I never looked back
not even to this very day
