“I am a Different Person”

I am a different person
Than the person I used to be—
Entirely different.
I’ve grown and matured.
I still experience the same
And new pains,
But now cure them
With logical solution,
Instead of numbing all with drink!
Like how I used to.

I brought myself to the bottom,
Which caused me to wake up
And realize it takes perseverance
To achieve,
In the least,
Fairness of life
Or the understanding
That life is what you make of it…
Which is entirely fair.
