There Was a Time

There was a time when I was sorry.

There was a time when I was ashamed.

There were days when I was depressed

and days when I didn't know my own name.

I've given up those feelings;

the ones that cause me pain.

I've given up on lots of things

including you accepting any blame.

So, while there was a time;

that time has now past.

I'm done with negative emotions.

I know those lessons will last.

It's time to focus on the good things;

time for me to find my bliss.

Time to experience happiness

and being hugged, and held, and kissed.
