Who were you?
Before they broke your heart
Really, before they told you
You couldn't be yourself
Before they told you
You weren't enough

Remember that person?
That boy or girl you used to be
That child that just didn't care
That didn't mind what people were saying

Who were you?
Before society rejected you
And told you to change
The way you dressed the way you spoke the way you walked

Before that one thing that broke you
That destroyed you
That made you believe you weren't worth it

Who were you?
Remember that person?
Don't you miss that person
That feeling of being free
And living carelessly

Who were you?
No! Who are you-
‘cos you're still that person
And this is your story
You control this allegory

So stop remembering that person
and start  being that person

Because who are you?
You're you and only you

LilLaeta

She never stopped crying
She felt like she was dying
She wore her scars on her back
And Carried her problems like a backpack
She didn't know how great she could grow up to be
She didn't know if she wanted to wait long enough to see
She was ready to give in
Shoulders slouched and a low chin
She didn't think they really cared
About all that was left unsaid
They called out to her
But it was all just a blur
But after calling and calling,
She Almost found herself falling
Until she was caught by a familiar face
And suddenly the world became such a beautiful place
