Ten Years

I still remember back when it all started,
Back when I was so full of hope,
Before the weight of it all came crashing down,
Crashing down around me,
All the years all the pain,
I wouldn't change this for anything,
No regrets, all respect,
For what this means to me,
Ten long years,
Helped me to see I was never where I wanted to be,
Now I can't help but think about this time I spent thrown away,
Ten long years
