When I was Young

When I was young

I was nothing but a fool

all I wanted was to clung,

Clung onto a dream I have had 

I wanted something to make me glad

But instead I was naive

and all I did was grieve,

feeling the pain as others walk past me

without even looking my way

all I ever wanted was to be gay

When I was young 

I wanted to be among,

among the ones who are love

But instead I was shove,

Shove into darkness 

and to see no more light

That was my punishment

When I was young

I wanted freedom,

and as each day pass I get closer

until the day I'm older

to realize you can never trully be free

You will forever knee towards society

When I was young

My life was nothing,

nothing but sorrow and pain

To feel drain each day

and when it rain,

Such beauty expose to the world

I could not contain

When I was younger 

I wanted light 

Yet cover in darkness for most my life,

I'm afraid,

Afraid that the light would burn 

The light I so yearn

But now I'm older

and I'm much more bolder

I'm more Stronger,

I make my own path

and be the light that I am

No matter how much pain I will suffer

I will keep living not for my friends, not for my family

But for me to prove to the world,

I'm uncurled

When I was young 

I wanted light

But me being small and naive

I did not realize I was my own light

That was when I was young
