What changed? A question popped into my brain.

It’s not my baby face, that’s still the same.
Maybe my height, oh, yes, I’m a giant now.
Maybe my swag, oh, yes, I know how to talk to a lady now.
Maybe the way I see the world... nah, that’s still the same, I feel the
same love.

So what changed then? I wondered...

But then it hit me, just like a wrecking ball.
Something was now awake, awake in the middle of it all.
The same eyes, that were once closed,
Now are wide open, they just changed clothes.

And I remember vividly, the times when I was younger,
I remember the joy, the fear, the laughter.
I recall feeling insecure, terrified by the monsters that started to lure,
Inside of my mind, yes, I was blind.

Some things are meant to die, no matter how much you ask “why?”.
Some things are meant to change, even if you don’t want them to.
But here’s the thing, what I’ve learned in these years,
Is that there is a sun inside, whose light will never die.

That’s right, the sun shines brightly now, despite the grey skies out-
side.
But hey, would I be where I am today if I hadn’t been deluded once?
Would I know how to love, if my heart wasn’t marked by scars?
Would I know what peace truly is, if my world hadn’t been soaked up
in chaos?
