Change


I've always said that "I want to be able to change myself"

Yet here I still remain

 A person still unfixed

 

Looking back at a past that I could no longer go back to

I'm forever regretting, forever trying to change

I closed my doors to this cruel world and my emotions

Bottling up my sadness, I force myself to walk ahead

All whilst ignoring the pain that lay and tore at my heart.

 

I've always said that I wanted to change

Yet in this dark and lonely place, I've remained

Slowly tearing apart, slowly falling into pieces

Unable to say in words, nor speak up

I wait for a miracle to shower me in its light

 

On that day we met, a future painted itself in front of me

Walking towards this painting, I stretched out my hand

And gently touched the canvas, just to make sure it was real

 

The words that you said to me gave me strength

The strength, and the courage to fight back against all of this pain and sadness

And since that day, since that time

I began to slowly change myself

 

Reaching, grabbing, becoming stronger

Even if it's out of my grasp, I'll still reach for that miracle

When did my doors begin to open to my emotions?

I'm sure that the future will also begin to shine, like the radiant sun

And so, I began to unseal my fragile heart

Hoping that one day, I can finally reach that miracle

 

As I push myself up from the ground

I think back to all that we've been through

No more pain, no more sadness

And I laugh, letting the wind carry the loud sound

As I stand strong as last

 

I've always said that "I want to be able to change myself"

Yet here I am now

A person that's finally, finally been changed

With you, thanks to you,

I've changed

Finally able to express in words, finally able to speak

I can finally say

"Thank you"
