Happiness Reborn

By Chris (aged 16)

When I look back,
To how my life was,
It seems like a story,
A life-line from Oz,
I felt so depressed,
Right down in the dumps,
Now, when I push it behind my heart jumps,
I hated the world,
And thought the world hated me,
I know now it was just putting up with my bad ways,
I was so blind with hatred, I just couldn't see,
Now seeing myself change makes me so high,
Pleasing the people who care about me,
Puts me straight in the sky.

For the first time I can recall,
I'm smiling all day,
No worries, no problems to stand in my way,
Never thinking I've got no hope,
I've finished taking it all as a joke,
I know what I've got,
And how much I care,
No more frustration,
No more pulling out my hair,
I wonder now, how I could have been so blind,
It doesn't matter now,
Future in front of me,
Bad times behind.

I just want to thank you,
For helping me through,
I couldn't have done it,
Without all the help from you,
I'm sorry for the past,
And I hope the good feelings will last,
Terrified of slipping back through time,
When my deepest thoughts were dark,
My mind was full of slime,
The future's becoming brighter,
Every day that I live,
It's all because of you,
I wish I could give,
Something back to you,
To show how I'm grateful,
I'm no longer down, no longer hateful.

I know the road of life,
May sometimes be rough,
We'll tackle it together,
We're used to being tough,
I may still at times,
Make you frown at me,
I hope I'll live up to what you want me to be,
If not, remember I'm trying,
I feel the bad side of me is still dying,
But my mind will never be formatted,
The dark side ill always be there,
But even if I say I don't,
I will always care,
Nobody's perfect,
Least of all me,
I don't want to be blind again,
I always want to see,
Another thing is I love you,
No matter how it seems,
But I suppose being an a******e,
Is past down through the genes!!!!!!

I mean what I say,
This wasn't just 'something to write',
I hope you understand it all,
Because it's taken me all night!
