If I Only Knew Then What I Know Now...

I would be better now

I would have been more accomplished and successful

I would not have made all the mistakes that I had

I would have been a better sister

I would have been a better daughter

I would have been a better friend

I would have been a better girlfriend

I wouldn't have spent all those days in my room

I wouldn't have cried myself to sleep

I wouldn't have tried to take my life

I wouldn't have cut and scratch and bruise myself

If I only knew then what I know now

I would be a better person today

I would be a better person tomorrow

But I would never learn what I need to learn

So I am glad that I

Did not know then

What I know now
