Who I was

Life fades into darkness,
And settles with-in,
the harsh sun touches me,
And slowly burns my skin,
I crumble to dust before my eyes,
And what I once was is gone,
Existance fades,
And it slowly faulters off,
Saying I used to be something,
Making me be nothing,
Being something I was,
If I was it,
How can I not be any longer?
What I was, made change,
And I wish I was that person,
The one you saw before,
But once you become something,
You can't go back,
You can change yourself,
But you can't change the past,
You are your control,
And no one can take that,
So why can't I be it,
If I can look back and see it,
I turn and cringe,
To think of what I am,
But mostly I turn and cringe to think of what I could have been,
If only I was that person,
Who would slowly turn and grin,
Say no continuesly,
And not take a thing,
To be myself greatly,
And that way,
I'd win,
But if I'm not what I want,
How can I possibly win?
In a sense,
I'll lose no matter what I do,
I've changed to be who I am,
And I can't seem to go back,
Nor can I change the darkness I hold with-in,
So do I follow what they've taught me,
Or do I try and go back,
The choice is mine to make,
And no one can change that.
