I Used To Be, But Now....
by Danielle Davis
I used to be blind
but now I can see.
I used to be someone else
but now I am me.
I used to be scared and shy
but now I'm lettinging my voice
speak up high.
I used to be careless
and didn't mind my brother,
but now I'm more caring
and I'll b e there to catch him
when he starts to fall.
I used to be a car,
but now I'm stolen
I used to be a house,
but now I'm ashes and smoldering embers.
I used to dream
but now I think.
I used to be satisfied whenever I learned anything new,
but now I know
that discovering and drawing from new sources of knowledge
is never enough.....
