"When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me I didn't understand the assignment and I told them them they didn't understand life." - John Lennon

I never really meant to stay
A short stop in my neverending journey.
But I think I finally found a place
A place where I belong.

I don’t have to be afraid
To tell the world who I am
Because I know
With you at my side
I can do anything.

I’m never gonna lose myself again
Never gonna let them win.
I tried so hard to just fit in
When what I was looking for
Was there the whole time.

Nothing’s ever going to be perfect
But at least I know
That it’s gonna be better,
So much better,
With you at my side.

"Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in the mirror which waits always before or behind."
