The Evolution of A.M. Morgan

A.M. Morgan
I once was a young and innocent girl with fragmented ideals of the person I should be.

I once was afraid of the disappoint based on expectations I did not meet.

I once traveled a long way from home only to discover in New Orleans a part of me will always live.

I once fell in love with perfection only to make countless mistakes.

I once said something that I did not mean in order to learn lessons in humility.

I once denied my emotions only to find myself drowning within a spiritual hurricane.

I once struggled with the power to forgive only to have my own apologies fall on deaf ears.

I once said that there were a lot of things I wouldn't do only to find myself driving in a compromising lane.

I once walked down a long and windy road to find myself seeking shelter in God's plan for me while feeling all alone and cold.

I once forgot to say I love you to someone only to wish I could turn back the hands of time.

I once was blinded by ambition only to feel miserable for neglecting my true life's passions.

I once was insecure and often naïve but now that I'm older I love this skin I'm in.

This is a small glimpse into A.M. Morgan's evolution.

Tomorrow and in the future my journey to self fulfillment continues.

    This is awesome too! You are truly brilliant, and I apologize for not discovering you sooner. I can identify with this piece. I am doing much better in life after getting rid of those who had such unrealistic expectations of me, especially when they can't even get their own acts together!

    This is a beautiful self revelation. It is also a sort of "everyman or everywoman" statement. Nice job.
