To fandom

Some words were uttered
Both behind backs and straight into faces
Some insults were muttered
A life was destroyed

Tears were shed
Alone and in public
I wasn't strong, so I fled
And hid in the safety of my mind

A few years later they've moved on
They've probably forgotten but how could I?
They turned my life upside-down
They tore me down and left me broken

A few times things got really dark
I couldn't see the light
I didn't know what was wrong
But I was too tired to fight

Then something happened
And everything changed
You came into my life
And made it okay

You made me happy
You made me see
Thanks to you
I am finally free

I cannot thank you enough
That is actually true
Because I am finally myself
And it's all thanks to you
