CLOUDS

As kids you would see it on TV
But never in a million years did I ever believe
That it would happen to me
3 years you have been free
I have changed from the girl I used to be.

I look in the mirror everyday
Sometimes trying to just hide the pain away
Put makeup on to make me feel better
Take a quick look at that long letter you sent
From the time that you were inside
Sometimes I want to leave it all behind but in those letters
You told me that you loved me and it's something I don't want to forget
My teenage years have been full of regret.

I didn't take the chances I could
And if I could relive those years I would
I would tell myself that in a few years down the line
Everything will be better you will be fine.
But I lived in a bubble surrounded my clouds
It was so hard to see the blue sky
I didn't try to clear the clouds I just kept living behind them
But 3 years have passed and I suppose I've grown up and become mature
I am surrounded by love and happiness
Not much negativity in my life
If I could have given my 13 year old self any advice
I would tell her,

Darling don't give up because on day everything will be alright, just hang on.
