I've Come A long Way Poem, by Felicity Jones, at My poetic side

I have been stupid,

i've made many mistakes.

I'm not that girl anymore,

I don't raise the stakes.

Back then I didn't care,

I was nothing but troubled.

Went through some bad shit,

made my life all jumbled.

I learned the hard way,

stopped playing risk.

I kept telling myself that I never want to be like this.

I quit the random sex,

Quit over drinking booze.

I had a choice to make,

Do I want to win or lose?

Did it all on my own,

I've come a long way.

I needed to care for myself,

Take it day by day.

Self loathing and a broken past,

it messed me up in different ways.

Had my fair share of consequence,

that's how karma pays.
