Who I was

I forgot who I was

Forgetting the lust

Talking like I'm not me

Forgot what people see

Who I'm not supposed to be

-

I forgot to carry the pain

I forgot my birth name

I loved that I moved with it

Not moving on

Not waiting long

But waiting forever

Now I don't remember

-

All the promises I broke

I've put my past at stoke

So I can forget

Then regret

Send a text

Ask what's next

-

Never caring

I was daring

What's fear?

I shed no tears

-

Always bearing

The scars I'm wearing

Never hiding

Always siding

-

Always sticking to my claim

Remember when I had an aim?

I refused to love

And made out crows through all the doves

-

I was truly phlegmatic

Don't remember when I changed

Never dramatic

But now my mind's been rearranged

-

Now I care

Now I feel older

Now I'm scared

For my friend's injured shoulder

-

Now I'm weak

I feel shy and meek

Now I'm less bold

Now I feel old

-

I wanna go back

Pack my backpack

Never turn around

Don't make a sound

-

I wanna stay with my friend

I don't want this to end

I wanna go back in time

Before I started writing rhymes

-

I know I've changed because

I did things then that I don't allow

I loved who I was

What's happened to me now

-

Now I give a fuck

Now I refuse to kill

So following my own will

When people die I won't stay still
