I know in my mind and heart 

I never got off to a great start

And that i give more than i should

Pretty soon i'll be entering adulthood

Even still, i'm going back and forth in my head 

Maybe because there are many words unsaid 

I open myself up only to be hurt again 

If only time could reverse and i could be ten 

For this story again, I'll reflect on the past 

Some of the memories i can grasp 

To the person who took my childhood away,

I hope i get to say this to you someday: 

You took the childhood that i once knew

And tried to shape me into you 

But i can take this and grow 

Be new again, like a fresh patch of snow 

Because i get to chose who and what i want to be 

That's why i am me
