Who was I vs who I am

Thu, 01/12/2017 - 13:50 -- Bemyers

Who was I back then?

I was young

I was stupid

I was unaware

I'm not who I was back then

 

Now I am aware of what all surrounds me

Now I know who stands beside me

For better or for worse they say

For better i say

 

They brought me down

He brought me up

 

Who was I back then?

I was young

I was childish

I was silly

I'm not who I was back then

 

He was there helping me grow unlike everyone else

They wanted me young, innocent

I wanted to be prepare

They were the ones unprepared

 

I grew up too fast, they all said

But I had too

 

Who was i back then?

Whoever that was, that's not me now
