I've come a long way

entry picture

Peaceful mornings turned into mourning nights 

 

Yes, I've come a long way

 

Heartfelt smiles hindered behind the heartbroken tears 

 

Yes, I've come a long way

 

Endless thoughts occupied in lieu of endless talks

 

Yes, I've come a long way

 

Dreams of life suppressed by the mares of struggles 

 

Yes, I've come a long way

 

Shrieks of tickled pink changed to wails of blues

 

Yes, I've come a long way

 

Life of social butterfly left me out as a lone bird 

 

Yes, I've come a long way
