Use to be...

Silent
Shy
Nice
Unprovocative

Funny how things change over time....

I use to be silent
when people did something to me

Now I tell you how it is
what hurts me
what I don't like
just what pains me

I use to be really nice
not a care in the world
if you said the worst thing
to me

Now if you
got something to say
to me
better say it to my face
instead of telling then running away


I kind of am shy
but not afraid
to stand up if you
hurt someone I love

I use to not be provocative

now I get up in your
face if you
dare try to step
to me

In time I have changed
growing up is strange
I know how to be mature
still learning not to cry
or be in rage
when I'm hurt

Many things broke me
Many things made me
some try an save me
even when it's hard to
save that persons self

Life got me down
It hit me hard
I just now learned
that I need to fight back
