Two Sides To A Coin
There's still so much I've got to say
of a life I've left but lived,
And now it's time for me to start
to understand... forgive.
A life I thought was all I knew
has finally come to an end,
Now it's time for my broken heart
to grow and live and mend.
I don't know who I used to be
or why I lived that way,
But now I've evolved into the person I am
with passing moments of current days.
There's so many who never knew me
as the one I kept inside,
And now the tables are turning
as I gain strength and beauty and pride.
I've listened to the world I know
with the echoes in my mind,
I love the person I've grown to be
and left my bitterness behind.
No one in the world can judge me
or tell me who to be,
I wish the people I knew before
would accept me for being me.
I've become someone you wouldn't know
if you knew me in the past,
And I ask you, now, to build with me
a friendship that will last.
