Angery, Impatient, Misunderstood

The feelings I had exactly a year ago

Angery

The energy I built inside with everyone

Because I never picked my battles

Becuase I hated where I was

Impatient

The feeling I had in my heart

Because I wanted to leave

Because I wanted to make a change

Misunderstood

What I saw myself as

Because I had a vision

Because no one saw what I saw

Liberated, Delighted, Comfortable

The feeling I have now

Liberated

Because I let go of my anger

Because I am at peace with myself

Delighted

Because I made a change

Because I found a way

Comfortable

Because I built confidence

Because I surronded myself with better people.
