U Knew Me When...

YOU KNEW ME WHEN???...

Fact of the matter is

I have changed again

I've evolved, emerged anew,

You knew me when?

You knew me when...
I had a jerry curl,
being called tar baby,
made me insecure lil girl

You knew me when...
I was the nerd
During grade school,
with my vision blurred

Maybe you knew me 
before I had a child
no cares in the world
living worry-free & wild

You knew me when...
I reveled in worldly ways,
drinking many of those days
trying to numb my pains

You knew me when...
I didn't love myself,
allowing my dreams 
to collect dust on a shelf

You knew me when...
I became his wife;
losing my identity,
greeting my new role with strife,

You knew me when...
Jeans, sneakers & tees, sports & baseball caps
were my only flavor
blind to the fact 
of my demeaning behavior

All of this to say,
my life was a blast
I was who I was
but it's in my past
I am who I am
loving my supporting cast
becoming who He wants
because life happens fast
Prepping today for tomorrow
because forever doesn't last

I still have issues because God gave me a heart,
but it is Him that sustains me,
from His presence, I never want to depart.

Communicate. Character. Capacity.
