"Sunflower on a cloudy day"
By: Billie Simone
“Better”
She made me
Better
For you
Now I do
All those things
I was supposed
To do
And now I’m
So Strong
I can
Move on
And begin
Something
New
With u…
We should
Send her
A thank-you card
For breaking
My heart
And lying to
Me and
Tearing me
Apart…
I may have
been scorned
But u found
Me and now
I’m reborn…
Baby
She made me
Better
And I’ve
Moved on
To you…
Something
Better than
Better
And I’m not
scared of
Forever ever…
She made me
BETTER
And I’m glad
I let her go
Because
Now I know
What it
Means to
Love someone
And be
Real
And true…
And now I’m
Not afraid
To be me
So that
Makes it
Easy to
Be free…
To love
You…
