As a child I was
As a child I was young and proud
I lived a carefree life with no worries
I thought I would be happy all the time and nothing could go wrong
But everything changed and so did I
I thought I could get used to this but I was wrong
My happieness soon went down the drain when I entered high school
Everything from school to family life has changed right before my eyes
My family was split and my friends come and go
I was heartbroken and thought this would be the end for me
I was starting to shut down and began to hear voices
Voices that say negative things about me and I thought they were true
I started to break down and thought about ending my life to start a new one
Then came a spark of light
I didnt know if i should take the risk yet i did
Soon I began to heal when I spoke for myself
Since then I'm healing and manage to start a new appearance
Even though I'm still healing
I still fear what life has in store for me
