Had I Never Seen You

March 7, 2019

Had I never seen you, my life would be so different

I wouldn’t fear to be myself

I wouldn’t have to shut them out

I wouldn’t lock myself away

I wouldn’t worry what to say

I wouldn’t cry myself to sleep

Without you there to see me weep

I wouldn’t feel small as a flea

When the teacher calls on me

I wouldn’t be afraid to speak

My life would not be sad and bleak

I wouldn’t have been a quiet child

I could hate you

Had I never met you, my life would be so different

I wouldn’t know what’s right or wrong

I wouldn’t know that I am strong

I wouldn’t know I can break free

From my fear and misery

I wouldn’t heal myself with time

Lift my confidence as it climbs

I wouldn’t open up my heart

To see the fear I can outsmart

I wouldn’t now be speaking here,

Had I not overcome my fear

I wouldn’t have been a quiet child

I could thank you
