I am in love

When I was young

And you were old
I never did


as I was told

You said I’d never amount
to anything

I laid my thoughts

Out in a maze

To hide my truth

From your cold gaze

You said I’d never amount
to anything

Well anything is everything

I guess I win because you can’t see

That I’m in love with being me

The word ran for me

As I ran from you

It caught me cold

But warmed me through

I knew I was free to be anything

I swallowed it faster

Than I could run

The crow shrieked louder

Than the setting sun

But I still believed in everything

So, I’m not young

And your breath has past

Your words stink loud

But I'm deaf at last

To all you ever said was wrong with me

Because now I am in love with being me
