I used to be so bubbly
I used to be so happy
So carefree
So free of misery

Now
Laughing is a struggle
Smiling is a mask
All I seem to do is choke up and fail

I used to be so smart
Such a bright girl
Such a clever girl

Now
I can barely think
Stress and disappointment seem to be the only things Im smart enough to know are a problem

I used to feel pretty
I used to feel loved

Now
I see eyes glance over me as though Im nothing
I see stares and glares
And if I am so loved then why I am so alone?

I used to be enthusiastic
I used to be the first to volunteer

Now
Im too scared to even get out of my chair
Anxiety eats me alive if I even draw the smallest attention to myself

I know that you don't care
But maybe you can relate
To old me
That I could appreciate

Love is a simple four letter word,
We see it from dawn to dusk,
From Child to Adult,
But what does it mean?
It  could be a chemical reaction, that's in our brain,

But maybe it's something more...
Is it a feeling?
A silly idea someone just made up
Or is it something deep down inside that stirs?
What is Love?

When your heart beats Faster and Faster?
When you kiss your Boyfriend/Girlfriend?
When you dream of a perfect partner?
Spending time with that special someone?
What is Love?

The way your parents and siblings get along?
The way your family cares and supports you ?
How you guys spend time together?
Or is it?
The way you feel when you close your eyes and know that where you are right is safe?

What is love?
The friendship you have?
The bond that holds you like glue to your friends?
The care and concern you have for them?
Knowing that no matter what, you'll be together forever?

What is love?
