Its Never Too Late

ITS NEVER TOO LATE

You’ve inspired me to share with the world. The pains I’ve longed to hide
  By convincing me I'm not alone and hope to others it would provide
By making me realize why, I have always analyzed my fears
  By writing down my feelings as I wiped away my tears
The only time I would share my thoughts were
  If it was an experience we shared 
    Cause that seemed to be the only time that anybody cared                    Way too young to realize I was never really alone
  Just didn’t have the knowledge of things I've since been shown 
We often drift off the path in which we need to stay
  But only for a moments time for lessons learned this way                       
Then we’re guided back onto the track that we thought we knew
  But it looks so unfamiliar now that we have a clearer view
Everyone is different there are no two the same
  Although you are beside me my friend our differences remain
So if I were asked to share ONE thing I’ve learned from life so far
  I’d probably say… “ it’s  NEVER too late to be who you REALLY ARE ”
