Before and After

A life full of thoughts; horrid
A life of misery; torrid
A life filled with fear and hate
A life filled with carrying the weight

A life wanting to end it all
A life feeling lost and small
A life toying with suicide
A life wanting to run and hide

A life up in the air
A life with no one to care
A life of anger and tears
A life filled with many fears

Until you came a long
And listened to my song
To what had frightened me
To what had not let me be

A life filled with happiness galore
A life filled with so much more
A life of fun to be just me
A life full of love and being free

A life full of balloons and jokes
A life of boundless love evokes
A life complete with free spirit
A life full of trust and merit

A life proud to call my own
A life where I have grown
A life amazed at music and song
A life I have wanted all along

Why live in denial? Face your fears and your life too can sing a song.
