DEAR OLD ME


Dear old me,

Where did you go so fast?

Making mud pies with dirt

Drinking water from the water hose

Having so much fun until you had a filthy shirt

Wishing that this life wouldn’t past 

Being the life of the party

Nonetheless, a smarty 

 

 

 

Why did the girl who was once so happy

Who was always toe-tappy 

Dissappear 

And never return 

 

Feeling like the world is crashing 

Life is flashing

Rarely laughing

Crying almost every night

Waking up to face the day is a struggle and fight

I miss being that care-free little girl 

Who felt like she belonged in the world 

Who was filled with so much joy

Dear old me, PLEASE COME BACK!!
