The Person I Use To Be

by Ashley Redden   Apr 19, 2005


Things happen for a reason
Thats what I'm always told
They say change is going make me stronger
Its just a part of turning old
But i don't wanna change
I like who I am rite now
I'm starting a new life
This time I'm going let my dreams lead me
I sat down on the porch this morning
Watching the sun start to come up
I think of the person I use to be
Sometimes seems so unreal
I couldn't believe who I was
It just didn't seem like me
Ive come a long ways now
Brought myself through some things
That I thought Id never come through
Just lucky I suppose
If I was any better of a person
I wouldn't be sitting and thinking of the old me
Taking myself back there
I fallen back down
I sit to look at the person I was
Sitting there on that porch that day
I could've saved myself
But instead put myself through a whole lot more pain
I'm laying here on the floor now
Waiting for someone to come find me
Maybe before its to late
Just might be put out of misery tonight
As I fade off into this deep sleep
