Screwed Up At Seventeen

Well you managed to screw up
The best part of a year
Wrapped yourself in misery
Self-obsession, hate and fear

Turned people against you
Caused embarrassment and shame
I won’t make those mistakes
Ever, ever again

Plastering your life over YouTube
Facebook and your blog
Thinking people cared
Saw through the damaged fog

I cringe when I look back
At how I acted last year
The ways I showed my pain
Instead of shedding a tear

I put myself away
In the asylum for the loons
I lost my mind, lost my pride
Far too young, way too soon

I’m paying for the damage
Clearing up the mess
I’m done with telling stories
No more need to confess

Don’t judge me on my past
I’m not that person any more
Accept me as I am
With all my quirks and flaws.
