I sit on my own and broadly smile.
The past 15 years, they’re worthwhile.
I’ve felt desperately cold and alone.
But it’s simply beautiful, the way I’ve grown.
There are amazing people at my side
the ones who carried me when my strength had died.
I was ignorant and couldn’t see
the path Destiny had in store for me.
I’ve made mistakes and I have regrets
the lessons I’ve learned, I’ll never forget.
Sometimes I trust myself a little too much
but I’ve stopped putting up my wall, as such.
I’ve sometimes had the saddest eyes
my lips are home to many lies.
Yet life offers me chance after chance
it’s time to seize them without a backward glance
I’ve never claimed happiness as mine,
so I feel now is my time to shine.
I’m moving towards my future, away from the past.
I really hope this optimism will last.
