A Depressing Life, to a Happy Life

When I was little
I hurt
When I was little
I cried
When I was little
I caused pain
Pain to those I cared about
When I was little
I didn't think anyone loved me
That no one cared about me
But I'm not little anymore
I'm 16 going on 17
I no longer believe no on cares about me
I no longer believe no one loves me
I no longer cause pain to those I love
I still hurt
But not as greatly as before
I still cry
But not as greatly as before
And sometimes
To this very day
I feel worthless
Unloved
But I soon get out of that stage
For I have my family to talk me out of it
I have my friends to talk me out of it
So I thank you
TO my friends
To those who helped me
Through the bad
And through the good
I thank you.
