I used to be someone I loved.

I used to be someone I loved then I lost sight of who I was. 
And as the me I used to be faded into memory 
so did the love that came with it.
Soon the misery took hold of me and my world became bleak.
My eyes had become so adjusted to the light
I didn't know if I could make it through the darkness.
But with my desire to recover what I'd lost 
I found something even better
Ambition
And with it I transcended the man I used to be
And became something more.
