It's okay
That's in the past
No damage was done
I am who I am today
Because of me
That's who I have chosen to become
You feel bad but don't
I've moved on
I lied when I said
That I didn't remember
The truth is I do
But it doesn't stop me
From living the life I desire
It's not your fault I do the stuff I do
I do it because It's something that's lacking
In my everyday life
I've learned to live with that fact

Your poem is very moving and

Your poem is very moving and uses some very good words like "damage" and "lacking". I don't quite understand what your poem is about. You should be a little clearer and I felt like you repeated your thoughts a little, but over all your writing was very good.
