It's a strange thing
Looking into the past
Memories of a younger you
Dancing with time
You remember the shy sweet innocence
Glorifying the beauty of the world
And you remember how swiftly you ignored
Or tried to ignore
The demons that destroyed this image
You remember fondly
How such simple problems
Were the bane of your small world
And wince regretfully
At how foolishly you dealt with them
Your sweet kind demeanour
Led to your sorry journey
Through hardship and trial
Because you were too timid to speak out
Too nice to hit back
Yet just think
If this was not so
Then the strong girl you are now
Full of confidence and charm
Would never have come to be
So though you look back in distress
Know that you wouldn't be who you are know
If it weren't for the past
Quite a personal one this
