There was a time when in life nothing greatly mattered,
Everything was fine.
I didn’t know how to tell the days nor the time.
Everyone got along, there was drama in the mix.
No one was mean, nor gave a diss.
I never knew of heartaches,
I never knew of a sin,
I never knew how my dreams would start,
exactly how they would begin.
There was a time I heard of love,
Never knew its true meaning, its true touch.
I never knew what it could bring, or how much.
There was a time when I could be friends with anyone,
Without jealousy in between,
Now it’s hard to find true friends, it seems.
There never was a time when sadness didn’t have a part my life,
It seems it always just has to bring me down.
Times when my smiles seems to constantly change into frowns.
There was a time when I tried to be a friend,
Giving and kind.
Making sure to help others with my time.
But life has changed,
Much has happened and transpired.
Good times consistently expire.
Sometimes I get so caught up in life and how to be at peace.
And then, as soon as I do, something bad is released.
The negative,
The positive.
Makes me feel inadequate all at the same time.
Sometimes I feel like go,
Sometimes I feel like I’m losing my mind.
But reality sets in,
helping me to realize life is beautiful,
Though things happen in between.
I don’t have to let the sadness overtake me,
Do you get what I mean?
This is the time now to move forward,
Getting rid of the past,
Letting go of the past bad,
Seeing the beauty in what can last.
This is the time now to make the most of my life.
This is the time now to strive.
Yes, there was a time that was hard,
A time that took hold of me,
But I fought through it
Believing in the goodness I still see.
