What I used to be
May 14, 2010
Yes, that’s me
Look and you’ll see
My hair messy like a mound
My eyes,staring at the ground
My arms, cut and bruised
My hands, small, fragile,always confused
My heart full of hurt
I always feel like dirt
I never liked their ways
My friends,nonexistent, back in those days
I live for reasons I don't even know
I hope my feelings won't show
I dream of living life, beautifully
It’s all clear as can be.
I need change, a better me.
