A simple poem I wrote for someone who has sincerely changed my life.


Bad days, heartbreak, tears falling to the floor
Tired eyes, worn out smiles, no way to make it stop
Losing friends, fading hope, every day's the same
There's no place to go to escape all this pain.

Suffocating thoughts, damaged self-esteem
Beautiful has no meaning when it comes to me
It's difficult to see what life is worth
No one can make it better, so it seems

Just as things were getting worse
And my faith was running low
I heard your voice for the first time
And everything began to turn

For the first time I felt a smile emerge upon my face
Not a smile just for show, but one that was for real
Your melodies strengthen me, even on my worst days
Thanks to you, I now know just what I'm worth

Wondrous days, healing heart, nothing can bring me down
Lively eyes, renewed smiles, I'm back up on my feet
Gaining friends, recreating hope, every day is beautiful
And it's all because of you
