Then and Now

Over a Year Ago

Sometimes I get sad

I don't know why

I just feel real bad

And I start to cry

My friends try to help

But it's no use

I can't even help myself

I deal with the abuse

On happy days I'm gone

Lost in a world of shadows

I live on the devil's lawn

Want to share my woes

But want to keep them safe

No way to keep us all happy

So I'm left behind

Today

Sometimes I decide

I'm sad today

There's no way

I'll be able to smile

Then I see them

And I just can't help

But crack a grin

It's like they take a pick

To my glass bowl

And all my fears spill out

And travel far away

I used to think I was a burden

But I've learned I'm worth it

For today
