This is a poem I wrte about how I changed through the years I spent in foster care. |
This girl you see is not the girl I use to be. This girl you see with the broken heart, use to be a girl with a perfect heart. This girl you see with the ghost of a smile, use to be a girl with the brightest of smiles. This girl you see on her own, use to be girl with a friend by side at all times. This girl you see with the dull lifeless eyes, use to be a girl with eyes full of laughter and joy. This girl you see who pushes everyone away, use to be a girl who tried to keep everyone close. This girl you see buried in lies and secrets, use to be a girl who blew all these things away. This girl you see who self inflicts pain, use to be a girl who hated pain. This girl you see who doesn't care about a thing, use to be a girl who cared about anything and everything. This girl you see who depends on her music, use to be a girl who depended on the people around her. This girl you see dying o the inside, use to be a girl who didn't have to pretend to be fine. This girl you see who cries tears of blood, use to be a gilr who hardly ever cried. This girl you seee running from her past, but hiding from her future, use to be a girl who just lived in the moment. This girl you see writing away her pain, but holding it all in just the same, use to be a girl who wrote everything away. This girl you see was not always the girl I use to be. |
