I used to be light-hearted and fun-
Carefree and worry free,
Until you've seen the ugliness in this world,
Until you've known true disappointment,
Until you've known true heart break,
You won't know what it means to have a heavy heart,
To feel as though you have nothing left to give,
No joy or smiles come for free,
No carefree fun comes without suspicion.
I used to be light-hearted and fun,
Trusting and empathetic.
Now I know, I only have myself.
