If I could change

my eyes would look without judgment

and my heart be open to trust

if I could change

my words would be soft and powerful

and I would leave old feelings to rust

if I could change

my reflection would smile 

and my scars would not define me

if I could change

I would speak out and open

I would love, but not so blindly

if I could change

I would live for the instant

but prepare for the future to come

if I could change

I would break my own restraints

and forget the feeling of numb

if I could change

I would live out my words

and hold fast to my beliefs

if I could change

I would open the doors

if I could change

I would be me
