The Years Leading Up to You

Wed, 11/15/2017 - 19:50 -- Ren18

My childhood was carefree and full of life.

I was always running around with my cousins

and playing with my brother.

I was close to my big family

and still had my grandma and grandpa around.

 

My middle school years were lonely.

I always had trouble making friends and was always alone.

I had a hard time adapting and what

made it harder was when my grandma got cancer.

She died when I was fourteen and everything fell apart.

But then I met you.

 

My high school years were much better.

I was still struggling with the loss of my grandma

and the fact that my grandpa had a stroke a few years later,

but I had you there for me and I no longer felt alone.

I was able to get through it with your help

and I am so grateful for you.

 

My senior year had a rough start, but I'll be okay.

You and I are no longer together.

I have changed so much throughout my life, but

I've changed so much more in the last year.

Even though i was hurt and alone again,

I became stronger than ever and

am now ready for more years to come.

 

Who knows what my future will bring.

I am still young and have so much potential.

I've gone through some painful experiences, but

I still have cheerful memories that i will cherish forever.

Now all I must do is keep moving forward.
