I was a girl

who didn't know it was wrong



I lived in a world

where they crushed my song



I was too young to know

that bad people live out there



I used to be so low

and think no one could possibly care



But as time passed,

I started to grow, to mend



And now, finally, at last,

I can finally tend,



To that evergrowing garden,

In my heart, soul, and head



I was not made to be broken,

And sometimes, not even bend,



I have this drive,

This passion, this motivation,



To breathe, and survive,

To savor life's sensation,



I want to love, to explore,

treat people with kindness,



Because there is always more,

and being thoughtful, is timeless
