In the past
I tried too hard to please others
When it came to feelings
I'll put theirs before my own
Changing my own being

A lost identity
But for friends there
To help uncover
become more aware

Opening up and releasing
Letting go if you will
Discovering again
How to be me fulfilled

I couldn't have done it alone
Releasing the scars
I thank you
You know who you are
