Confession: "Hey, you..."

By: Alyssa Anne Vitry

"Hey you, psst... I changed my life today."
Whispering in happy tones
"My sky's no longer gray.
I took a bee and turned it
to a lovely butterfly
Taking everything I've ever done
and then asking myself, why???
I looked around and noticed I wasn't happy where I stood
I wanted a better life and I would get it
if
I
could."
Gripping tight I hold your hand enclosed safely in mine
"I think the life I've chosen now, will work out just and fine"
I look a second in your eyes and when I slow my heart
"I'm happy it's with you that I will make another start-
You've taught me how to smile when all things felt down and out
Taught me not to hold stuff in, and not to twist things all about
You taught me there is happiness in the darkest day
And when everything I know has left, you told me you would stay
I want to say I thank you for all that you have done
You helped me turned this crazy world into a happy one."
Leaning closely to your ear to whisper what I may,
"Hey you, psst... I changed my life today."
