From Sadness This Did Come

I'm not the brightest candle I'll just say I'm lit For some too hard to handle Others will just quit I'm not the best to look at You might look away Or see the fist you shook at Much to my dismay People say I'm funny And I look the same Sweet as honey But left without the game My verbal skills were lacking I could not even write My voice was always cracking Never felt to bright The things that we are feeling Are not always as we see My mind was stuck and reeling But I've learned to set it free So not that I am older Things that used to bug Just know that I am bolder Now my shoulders shrug Who cares how I am looking It's who I am inside Now that I'm really cooking I take a bigger stride You see I'm very happy From sadness this did come Maybe it sounds sappy But I beat a different drum
