What would I change?

What would I change?

Shit, where do I start...

If only I could eliminate all the times a boyfriend stomped on my heart. 

If I could erase all the times I stayed in the house,

Except maybe I wouldn't change those because by this time I had figured out what life is about. 

If I could take away just some of the hurt and the pain,

Hell...I'd be different. 

Maybe I would believe in miracles, 

and maybe I would not resent the sun when it shines, 

or the smiles on the faces of others, because I have yet to figure out what the fuck is so wonderful.

If I could change anything, I wouldn't be bitter. 

I'd be happy.
