Cold as Winter

I'd like to thank everybody I've ever met, everyone who's ever been a part of my life. I'd like to think I've learned something from each of you. Whether you were positive or negative you've contributed to my experience on this earth. My life began at 18. Before then my daily venture consisted of going to school and coming home. The only new people I'd meet were mostly my babysitters. Once I left my mother's house for the first time, that's when my five senses truly kicked in. That's when my heart beat the fastest. Five years later I look around and almost everything reminds me of someone and and moment or two we shared. I'm able to laugh and smile at the moments that weren't so funny or pleasurable back then. My past misery has accounted for my current youthfulness.
