The Old Me the New Me
'The old me now new me'
How hard for me it is to plan
To go for drinks
Be who I am
It's who I was that you all know
The new me now, so pained and slow
I knew that night old me was gone
The light now dimmed so bright once shone
Faded early so unfair
From days looked forward to doing my hair
'But you seem so normal, you look so well'
Well I'm afraid inside I feel like hell
As years go by my shoulders drop
When go for fun or dare to shop
Yet deep inside I start to grow
Learn to not let feelings show
Accept the new me as I am
Might not always be my biggest fan
But in my mind I know I've grown
Learned to understand unknown
I've made me stronger in my mind
Learned to care be less unkind
Some days I might not seem to cope
But in my heart there's always hope
That I will find a way each day
To smile and laugh appreciate
Enjoy the views and little things
The joys that sun and laughter brings
‘The old me the new me’ ~ By Victoria Payne
