Swaying on the swing set in the warm summer breeze I close my eyes and smile I love days like these Days at the park are priceless I let my mind go free I dance as the leaves make music I run feeling the cold grass on my feet I sit on the bench and watch others live their lives I am in awe with what I see There are no celebrities walking the red carpet I see average people like you and me I come to the park to escape the teenage life whenever I'm here I feel like I am four again No girl is judging me or my clothes no guy is calling me a ***** As the sun touches my skin I feel a warmth that can only come from love I think about the scars on my arms I cry until I have had enough I get up and I spin in circles again with each circle I make a piece of my past falls off of me and that moment becomes a brand new day
