That Person

Who is this person staring at me in the mirror?  It is not the person that I once knew.  This person does not look anything like what I remember.  I remember a person who was fat, ugly and nothing special to look at.  Now I see a more slimier person who is not ugly, but yet I do not see them as special.  This person used to be crazy, and now they are not!  They used to be a real bitch and pissed at the world, not anymore.  This person I see is a much stronger person, a person in a much better place in their life.  This person is still young and has a lot more to learn about everything.  But this is not the person of the past anymore this is the person that is going to look forward to the future.  This person is going too live each day as if it were the last.  This person is a much more enduring person, but what choice did that person have?  To give up, well I am glad that person decided not to do that.  As I recall that person thought of that many times.  I am glad that I am not that person anymore and when I look in the mirror I see much better image of myself!!
