Transitions (I Used To)

I used to be happy But now I'm getting sadder. I'm trying to be an optimist But Sometimes I end up as a pessimist. I used to be funny But now I'm getting serious. I try to take a joke But they all get me provoked. I used to like pop But now I find it overrated. It gets crammed down my throat But to old school I devote. I used to achive without trying But now I gotta put in effort. I'm not losing IQ I gotta try like baby birds flying in sky blue. I used to only care about beauty But now I'm searching for more I want a girl who I can pour my soul into But sensitivity is underrated so who? I used to only see dogs as pets. But now I know they're sophisticated creatures. I have two dogs who would die without me. Every second spent with them is a treasured memory. I used to enjoy School But now I think It's a prison "Don't push me 'cause I'm close to the edge" "I'm trying not to loose my head." I used to hope life would stay static. But now I know things happen. Everything bad thats happen I'll pull through. The counselor's telling me that so I guess it's true.
