I know I had a colorful past,
You needn’t remind me of this.
You needn’t point out all my faults,
remind me of what I did.
I know I had a dark past.
You needn’t rub it in my face.
You can clearly see my shame.
Why add to my disgrace?
I know I had a wayward past.
I wish we could just let it go.
Each time you drudge it up,
my embarrassment starts to show.
โช๏ธ
I need no reminders of my past.
That girl is dead and gone.
If we could just see that this is the new me,
perhaps we could simply move on.
โช๏ธ
I believe everyone can change.
As long as they’re still alive, they can still make the right choice.
I choose not to have such a narrow-minded view of people based on past failures.
People can change.
Everyday is a new opportunity to get it right.
Every life is precious.
Every person is worth saving.
No living soul is truly lost.
People can change.
โช๏ธ
“Until others have walked in your shoes,
Until they have carried your burdens,
Until they have known your troublesโฆ
They have no right to judge you.”
