Sometimes it's good to feel bad.
Sometimes we need to feel sad.
Sometimes we really should be mad.
And it's ok to remember the good times we've had.

I miss the innocence of being young.
I remember I wasn't afraid of my parents
Or friends
Or people
Or opinions.
I miss being able to tell people everything
But then I learned that no one can keep a secret.
I remember when I didn't have to cry in secret.
I remember when my laugh sounded real.
I remember being happy...

Where has the time gone?
Where is it going?!
Wait!
Stop running away!
I can't let it escape me!
But... I can't catch it...

I was different then.
I've really changed.
Who am I now?
Who did I turn into?
Is this real?
Who could love someone as misshapen as me?
Sometimes you need to let these thoughts out in a scream.
But I don't have a voice here.
No one would hear me
Or care.
So what can I do
Except spill this broken heart onto a page -
All the messy words blurring together...
And I hope someone hears it...
Sees it...
Knows it...

Knows me.

It doesn't feel good to feel bad...
