Who I Am Today
It's funny how life is always changing,
as we pass through different stages of time.
How a simple life can need rearranging,
so everything will work out just fine.
When I was young I never would have dreamed,
that I'd be who I am this very day.
Thinking thoughts that are seldom seen,
changing my perspective in a whole new way.
When I was young, I was always quite shy,
never thought of being so bold.
Held back all the tears I could have cried,
only to realize it can turn a warm heart cold.
Afraid of being who I wanted to be,
from a fear that all I ever did was wrong.
In a way this kept me unfocused on me,
and onto others, for a time that seemed long.
By trying to keep those around me always happy,
is what made me, who I am today.
At times this made me feel a little crappy,
but I wouldn't be happy with myself any other way.
