Besides You

Different

A year ago today I was clueless

I didn't know that love would change me

I didn't know that heartache would make me stronger

I didn't know that friends would define me

Ive cried over the boy that stopped loving me

I've screamed for the voices in my head were demonizing

Ive laughed to make it believable

The day he left

That girl died

The innocent

young girl

believed that world was incredible

who smiled and laughed so much it hurt

always saw the good in people

became a stranger

If her younger self saw her now

She would be frightened but relieved

For now a new girl is born

One that finally sees the truth

One that will love her flaws

One that will conquer the world
