I've come a long way

Peaceful mornings turned into mourning nights 

Yes, I've come a long way

Heartfelt smiles hindered behind the heartbroken tears 

Yes, I've come a long way

Endless thoughts occupied in lieu of endless talks

Yes, I've come a long way

Dreams of life suppressed by the mares of struggles 

Yes, I've come a long way

Shrieks of tickled pink changed to wails of blues

Yes, I've come a long way

Life of social butterfly left me out as a lone bird 

Yes, I've come a long way
