Stefani Boehm Poet Lyric

Once I Was, But Now I Am...

Once I was alone
But now I am with you, 
Once I needed a friend 
To tell my whole life to. 

Once I was afraid 
to start over new, 
But now I have the courage 
To be me, and not you. 

Once I was belittled 
By the friends I thought I had, 
But now I am on top 
Of the good, not the bad. 

Once I was so weak 
But now I speak my mind, 
Once I was put down 
And always left behind. 

Once I was a child 
Left alone in the dark, 
But now I have grown to be 
A fire, not a spark.
