I was

By: Juli Leitelt

I was a painter
So I painted
All the stars for you to see

I was a lover
I gave all my love
But, it never came back to me

I was a fighter
I used to stand tall
But, I let down my guard

I was a dreamer
Until I let
My mind wander too far

I was joy
I was hope
I was faith
I was free

I let down my guard
For you to see
I gave all my love
It never came back to me
