I’m From Who I Used To Be by Christy V.
I’m from the early fireworks
In the star filled summer night sky
I’m from the bluebonnets
Blooming in the southern spring
I’m from the historic city
I’m from the coastal town
I’m not anything I used to be
She was the girl that followed a boy
She checked out often a stack of books
Did dance lessons, theater, guitar, piano
Wrote articles once a month, once a week
She fell for boys who never saw her
I still remember that girl
She had a list of best friends
Narrowed down as years went by
She began to guard herself
No one knew why
Every step led her to
Push away her fears and tears
To the path of who she wanted to be
Her voice to sing, write, and inspire
Hold the key to all her responsibilities
Shows her who she could be
I’m from where dreams grow
