Look At Life

I use too cry
I use to always be shy
I never wanted to talk
I use too never want to walk

People say i was depressed
I always felt a tightness in my chest
I thought it was just stress
but i realized my whole life was a mess

all i ever did was sleep
Then all i did was weep
I tried so hard not too feel this way
how i longed to stay

No matter what i did nothing helped
nobody i saw helped
I thought i should end it
even though people would have a fit

some noticed the signs
some read between the lines
I realized there is much more
so i opened up a new door

I look at life different now
and i wonder how
I’m so happy i’m here
knowing there is nothing to fear
