Once upon a Writing
In the past I remember how things were so simple
when I was little face as innocent as an angel
Looking back I remember how sweet I was as a child
When I think again my heart told me I was wild.
In time my simple choices were revealed as true as anyone
the reason I am the way I am today,
I did things, to get done finishing lots of my undone ideas.
I never thought I would learn heart aches and pain,
with such understatement I did things for no gain.
I was a child who held true to what she learned
but as I got older those kind of perspectives would get me burned.
When I made up my mind that people was not so kind,
I led myself in a confusion that I was blind.
I believe in the saying "seeing is believeing",
so i was the one who stood there with friends leaving.
Alone, I felt I did not belong.
I got older to see how the world works it stung me like a bee.
The feeling of tingling ran through my veins
My view of the world and people who knew me was stained.
Life I know is just a joke because of who I hung out with
Today as I look at the world in my own view I'd rather stay astray.
I'd rather not follow everyone and just walk away.
