For far too long, had I seen myself with their eyes A meagre splash of color on a canvas so wide A withered flower, though wrong it did seem Conflicts there were though, with the inner me Cocooned was I, in self loathing now & then But then I broke free, pushing away from them And now I see it, how wonderful *He** made me I wish I hadn't whined away, in pointless self pity Now don't you do it, the way I did it wrong Blackout the world hon, you're a-okay to go !
