We all have dark secrets, just no one knows them.- Me<br /> &quot;If you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, its yours forever. If it dosent, then it was never meant to be.&quot;-unknown

Who am I?
Past the hurt,
Past the pain.
What is left?
When trust is gone,
When love is lost.
Who is left?
When the innocence is taken,
When the past is dark.
What do you see?
Past the smiles,
Past the laugh.
Who you see is me.
Future bright,
Nothing to lose.
That’s who I am.

I often ask myself who I am and what my past has done to me. This poem explains me and everything that has happened to me. I hope this helps others deal with difficult experiences.
