Words from the Heart

A Girl I Once Knew

A/N- This is a poem I wrote about myself. I was feeling depressed and I wrote this. 

There was a girl I once knew

She loved to smile 

She enjoyed the small things

Small things like big book 

Sweaters that were way to large

And soft stuffed animals. 

There was a girl I was once knew

She loved to think the best of people 

She liked to listen to happy songs. 

But I no longer know this girl

She is a stranger to me now. 

I wish I could get her back. 

I remember when I slowly started to lose you

To lose my happy self. 

It was 7th grade when she started to fade. 

I had my first self harm incident. 

I slowly started to lose my smile. 

I consumed myself with things to do to keep me busy so I wouldn't have to think.

But she was there 

She said to me that "we still have books"

And she was right 

But for 2 years she slowly started to fade. 

She now only lives in the past and no longer in the present. 

It was freshman year when she finally faded completely. 

Sure I still smiled, but it wasn't real. 

She's gone 

And each day I miss her

I am slowly trying to get her back

So she is no longer a stranger 

I once know a girl 

She loved to think the best of people. 

But now 

She no longer thinks people are good 

She has lost to much 

To many friends. 

I once knew a girl 

But she is dead now 

There isn't a day that goes by 

That I wish I could trade spots with her

And have my happy self back.
