I’ve been so many places, done so many things.
I have made numerous mistakes, never quite reached perfection.
I have been shallow, and vain, sarcastic, and condescending.
I have hidden from the world, worked hard to avoid any real connection.
But I’m growing… I am aware of my shortcomings.
I diligently work toward being proud of my reflection.
How I look, these days, isn’t my concern though.
It is who I AM that matters to me now!
How I treat others, the love that I show.
Taking pride in my behavior, honoring every vow.
I put forth effort these days, to be better, to nurture… to grow.
I don’t throw words around that I don’t mean.
I uphold integrity, and do my best to remain humble.
I choose battles wisely, and always protect my peace.
Hold myself accountable, show myself grace whenever I stumble.
Life isn’t easy, but becomes more beautiful with each passing day.
Today I choose to be completely clean and sober.
I know that God has my back, He guides me along the way.
When I see my reflection, I no longer abhor.
I am proud of the person that I am today.
I move different, always doing the next right thing.
I say what I mean, and I mean all that I say.
God brought to this place, and His praises, I will sing!
I hope for the future, no longer regret the past.
I am open to change, and stay willing to learn.
From within, I’ve built a foundation to last.
I work hard in rebuilding all the bridges that I once burned.
I no longer have to hide my face due to all the shame.
I can honestly say that I’m proud of who I have become.
I know who I AM now, and I’m proud of myself today.
The war may not be over, but every battle to date, has been won!
