I Was Wrong

I thought that I was bad.
I thought that I was stupid.
I thought that I was ugly,
in my heart
and in my soul.

I thought I'd never make it.
I thought I couldn't do it, alone;
especially
not
alone.

I thought I didn't have it in me.
I thought I was a bitch.
I thought that I would never
ever
feel good
about myself,
or anybody else.

I thought I was a failure.
I thought I'd never win.
I thought that I had lost the game
before it had
even
begun.

I thought a lot of things.

I thought a lot of things, let me tell you!

I thought a lot of things.

But...


...I was wrong.
