Growing up so happy and free

knowing who I wanted to be

as life went on people had changed

to ways I never thought

as I was finding myself, someone found me

I opened up and let him in without knowing a thing

I was so happy until the day that everything went so wrong

he left me and I felt so alone

it wasn’t fair
now I was sad and mad all at the same time

I would always cry at the drop of a dime

my life has changed since then

as I hide my emotions and say I’m okay

I realize that it’s not worth it

this life has taught me more than to be upset

I hope to find someone like you again who will listen

who won’t just leave again

but for now I’ll choose to be happy and free like I used to be

I know that God gave me this life for a reason

so I can live

*happy and free
