Than and Now
I used to look in the mirror and hate what I would see,
But now I find beauty in who is looking back at me.
I thought I was worthless and could never become anything,
I have come to see I am worth something and will become many things.
I used to sit in darkness as the voices in my head would scream,
Now It is filled with tunes of happy melodies.
I thought if I died it would stop the pain I felt,
I have come to see life gets better and I will be happy.
I want to spread my new found light with those in need.
I want to inspire others to become what they want to be.
I want to lead those who are struggling out of the dark.
I want to be everything I am made to be.
But now I find beauty in who is looking back at me.
I thought I was worthless and could never become anything,
I have come to see I am worth something and will become many things.
I used to sit in darkness as the voices in my head would scream,
Now It is filled with tunes of happy melodies.
I thought if I died it would stop the pain I felt,
I have come to see life gets better and I will be happy.
I want to spread my new found light with those in need.
I want to inspire others to become what they want to be.
I want to lead those who are struggling out of the dark.
I want to be everything I am made to be.
