My Journey

So much

Once I was so much bolder then I felt my heart break in two
Once I was so much colder then I realised I couldn’t make it through

Once I was so much clearer then colours changed to a different hue
Once I was so much louder then I realised it was nothing new

Once I was so much uglier but my soul filled with the words from you
Once I was so much blinder but my eyes didn’t see now the way they do

Once I was so much younger and I want to say to him it will be alright too
Once I was so much plainer but the world makes you think of more than few

Once I was so much hungrier but now the taste just reminds me of my youth
Once I was so much saner but all I want now is to feel my feet on the morning dew

Once I was so much a dreamer and now all I do is hope for children to not be so blue
Once I was so much greater but that’s just a state of mind of which I just out grew.
