I can no longer recognize
the venom I used to glorify
Looking at him
like staring into the eyes
of a stranger
Perhaps someone I met
in a wonderful dream
turned sour & stale
If I were to take two steps back
now knowing
what pure happiness feels like
Would I be disgusted
with this past version
of myself?

Most likely you would. The past never looks that great to its owner.
Good writing, Baylee!
You might be disgusted, but you don't have to be. We all make mistakes, none of us is good all the time. The important thing is to recognize what was wrong and to make it right. And that you did!
Time changes us and situations. Time makes us wiser. You''ll never be what you were yesterday. If you looked back from yesterday then it would be the you of yesterday. Be gentle with yourself. We all have made some awful mistakes... i seem to be still making them.
Thank you all
