Remember

I wonder when this started

I can't remember when the pain

Finally surfaced

And took over

My every waking thought

Was I ever happy

Being myself

Was I ever happy

With the reflection

In the mirror

Did I ever

Wear a genuine smile

Did I once

Bring joy into someone's life?

I can't remember a time

That I was ever at peace with myself

When I actually

Enjoyed being

The person I was

No matter what size.

I can't remember

What my skin looked like

Without the scars

That run deep

Into my skin.

I just can't seem to remember

A time before

The pain surfaced

A time when I was happy

A time when my mind was in peace

I can't seem to remember

Anything before

This pain.
