What can I say, oh what can I say
I didn't mean to turn out this way
I tried to remain independent in everything I did
Even if that meant shutting people out as a kid
I didn't mean to become who I am today
I am the opposite of what younger me would say
Yet he came along and ruined my plan
I was completely fine yet he gave me a helping hand
I didn't want to lean on him or need him to survive
But for some unknown reason he made me feel alive
I smile more when he's around
I make a fool of myself because it's okay to fall down
But I can't help but hate myself for changing him
My world is lit up but my confidence is dim
I want to be happy, I truly do
But it's hard to forget everything I've been through
I don't need a man to complete me
On my own I can be as happy as can be
But a part of me, in the back of my mind
Tells me that he is rare, he's one of a kind
What can I say, oh what can I say
I didn't mean to turn out this way
Yet I'm truly glad that I did
Because now I know I was wrong as a kid

A/N: hi! I haven't done an authors note in a really long time, but I thought I would just update you guys on a couple of things. I doubt that I'll be able to update a lot because I'm starting my senior year of high school very soon, and that's something I really need to focus on. School is definitely going to be my top priority, but that doesn't mean I won't have any time for poetry. I also wanted to thank every single one of you for reading my poems and voting and commenting the sweetest things. Every comment truly makes my day in its own special way. I'm still going to be writing and posting poems, I just don't know how often that will be. Thanks again for reading!! :)
