Bye Bye

once upon a time
a girl thought she'd found a place
a place to express

her deep and foolish
dreams and thoughts and fantasies
secret private cove

and now it's been spoiled
by those that must criticize
must be all they know

I believe that those 
who feel the need must have been
under the constant 

dark heavy blanket
of scrutiny and now live
to show us the way

well I'm outta here
thanks for the positive words
from those of you that

understand that we 
only want to hear the good
keep negative out
