Things to Remember

By Bryson

That awkward, lonely, lost girl is leaving

And in her place

Arrives an awkward, confused boy

But he’s less lonely

And there’s hope in his heart now

And he’s freer

And when he sees himself

He’s filled with light

You know

He’s still afraid

He’s still unsure

But he’s driven forward

By the knowledge that he never

Wants to be that lonely girl again

Because she was so sad

And almost every day

She felt that she might break

She was tearing herself apart

And she never understood why

It was like there was poison inside

And she felt so sick and rotten

But he doesn’t feel like that

He is so much calmer

Feels so much more at home in himself

And when he’s afraid

That is what he has to remember
