Years ago, I thought love was all you need, but now I realize, those weren't the words of my heart. I realized, I never really needed love, I never really wanted love. I saw people around me, together, I thought that was how it was supposed to be. But then I realized it wasn't for me. I was happier alone, I always had been, but I thought I had to fit in with the crowd. When everyone wore blue, I wore blue, But now, I stand tall and proud. Now when people are wearing blue, I wear red, because I don't care anymore. I'm different, and I'm fine with that, in fact, I love that! The night I discovered my true self, I went to the abandoned amusement park. It was beautiful. The overgrown vines, climbing up the Ferris wheel, the array of beautiful colors, coating the setting sky. I was overwhelmed by the colors and scenery around me. I was so calm that evening, that was the first time I had felt like that in years. That was the most wondrous day of my life. I was happy, so happy, alone and happy.
