The First Fifty Pages Of Me by Nailinthewall

Remembering Then

When I was a kid I used to look forward,

Now all I do is look back.

Maybe I'm trying to find something I've lost,

Retracing old steps to find it.

When I was a kid I used to be fixed,

Now all I am is broken.

Maybe I'm trying to retrieve those pieces,

Retaking old steps to find it.

When I was a kid I used to be happy,

Now all I am is sad.

Maybe I'm searching for my silver lining, 

Remaking old cells to find it.

When I was a kid I used to speak,

Now all I am is silent.

Maybe I'm trying to lose myself,

Replacing old sounds to find it.
