Out of Place

Once you are here, there's no turning back
All of those blue skies turn to black
Under the pressure, my heart begins to crack
I thought I had awoken
But it turns out I'm still broken
Remember those hellish nights
How they were such a fright
Remember those feelings of dread
When I wished I was dead
Resting my weary head
I used to think I had no path to tread
I have, indeed, grown
From being alone
To, sort of, feeling at home
Now I'm proud
Of how I've come around
From feeling like I didn't belong
To singing happy songs
I am so glad to still be here
In this life that I love so dear
My life was so doom and gloom
From the ashes I have bloomed
And now I am so happy
In this life that's quite snappy
Finally feeling at place
With my body and my face
It is such
That I've grown so much
I couldn't be more proud
I want to scream it out loud
This has been so worthwhile
So how about a little smile?
