It was almost as if I was a wild thing
uncontrollable, angry, bitter
I was the epitome of madness
the center of sadness

But you came around

And I guess maybe you liked how
I was simply mad,
an absolute creep
and you stuck around
and unearthed the me
that hid inside all along,
scared to show itself to the world
scared of how the world would think of it
scared of the hurt bound to come
scared of everything

But you coaxed me out of my shell
so to speak
and now here we are.
as I stand with a smile on my face,
Know that its because of you,
that I smile because of you,
that I laugh because of you.
I am brave because of you.
It all seems to lead back to you,
you changed my world and the best I could hope for us that I changed yours too.
