I've been meaning to say this for a while now,
and I hope everything comes out ok.

I once was a person, who had a strong sense of self.
That man is dead.

Most of you knew me as someone else.
A selfish, manipulative and deceptive person.
Someone controlling and power hungry.
A man who lived too much in the past and the present,
and hardly enough in the future.
He who caused so much pain to so many people,
and ripped apart so many beautiful things.

It took a lot of pain to open my eyes.
And I'm thankful for the light that broke apart those dark clouds.

But I'd like everyone to know me as I am now,
Not how I was, or how you think I will be.
Know me for the good things you remember,
And the good things you'll soon see.

I am a loving, caring person.
Relentlessly devoted to those I love.
Devout in my resolve.
Committed to never giving up,
as long as light still shines in the sky.

I made a pact with our Creator,
to devote whatever is left of my wretched life
to doing good, if he would help me.
He did.
I intend to keep my word.

If you had the heart to read these words,
that were so close to my soul,
please show me your support by replying:
"I believe in you".
