I have grown, and I have changed, I see things in a forever evolving light
Though my past, my thoughts grow dark, looking back I see myself in blight
Some friends go, and some friends stay, some may grow alongside me
All I'm doing is trying to set myself free

Finding my way, clawing through dark
Even if to some it seems more stark
I try, and try, every day
to see the sun, and keep my demons at bay

If you want the rainbow, you take the rain
Sometimes it's inevitable to be strained
Alas, I trek, keep moving forward
I can't let my demons flash forward

I often struggle silently, as many do
I do everything I can to hear you
Your time of day is all I look for
I just hope that I'm not a chore

I love, I care, I think
I try to match up with you; in sync
With my tired heart I'm there for you
Just so at least one of us isn't blue

So I fight, and fight, every day
Found my love, my life's less gray
I try to enjoy the little things
I try my best to spread my wings

So if you see me, now or then
I have changed yet again
Give me a chance, or listen close
I'll do my best so you won't oppose
