Six Years

Six years of wandering 

Six years of waywardness 

Six years of waiting

Six years of self-abandoning

Six years of squandering

Six years of searching

Six years of repetitive mistakes

Six years of irresponsibility

Six years of causing pain to my family

Six years of burning bridges

Six years of living in fear and shame

Six years of being lost

Six years of isolation

Six years of loneliness

Six years of letting go of control and what I thought I knew

Six years of self-discovering

Six years of start of awakening

Six years of healing

Six years of no turning back

Six years of life lessons

Six years of preparation of a new beginning

Six years of journey back to loving me
