Who I Was

I used to capture

the beauty of a bulimic

and the wisdom

from an overlooked crumb

I once reached deep into the cosmos

and painted a glittering sky

of pure unimaginable emotion

I remember seeing people

for all they could be

and not

what they could do for me

I dreamed of sorrow then

and felt deeper

then the murky depths of the ocean

most of all I remember so strongly

being able to save all those

who needed saving

but now I am the one

who needs to be saved
