God I feel good today.
I don't know what happened
I guess God just wanted me to shine
Just like the sun that came out today
That melted all the snow
And washed all the hurt away
Feeling like this is so perfect
I've forgotten just how perfect
Life can really be
To not have to rely on anything
To not have to want to die
Just so I can feel alive
I love my life
I love my friends
I'm never going back to the old ways
The past is the past
I'm going to keep it there
And live for today so I can be free
Free to be happy,
Free to be me.

I wrote this for two reasons. One, so that I could feel closure for what has happened in my troubled past. Two, so others can read it and know that they're not the only ones that have felt that way. I was there too, and if I got through it, then so can you!

&quot;I believe in everything until it&#039;s disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it&#039;s in your mind. Who&#039;s to say that dreams and nightmares aren&#039;t as real as the here and now?&quot;~John Lennon
