Thanks
A timeline on a website
A memory lane URL
Where has the time gone?
Just how long has it been?
How long has it been since she first fought us?
And since I was infatuated with him?
Next came the swimmer
The heartbreak he caused
Now we’re at summer
The summer of traveling
The summer of friends and music
The summer of love
I have evolved
Evolved from dark and scary
To extinguishing the dark
Who do I thank for that?
I thank my friends
I thank my sisters
My family, my lover, my coworkers
But I thank myself
After four years
I’ve finally learned how to forgive
I’ve righted my wrongs
And I’ve looked forward instead of back
My future now is brighter than ever
My mistakes making me who I am today
Now I’m headed to help other students to learn
Learn math, but also
To live
