I Forgave Myself 
I walked along the hallway whistling.
I pushed against the door to the
World outside.
It wouldn't budge.
I wasn't ready to face the world.
I know that now.

I walked along the hallway,
Still whistling.
I stepped inside the classroom
To learn about me more.
What I did not know.

I stayed awake,
Unlike before.
I learned..
I forgave myself for
Things I had done
Before..

I walked to the door once
More..
I shoved,
The wind finally giving in.
I stepped out into the
Bright sunlight
Breathing fresh air
Once more.
