The Girl I Used To Be
_A few weeks ago_
I think
I just met
The happiest girl
In the world
So free
So confident
Nothing could stop her
She was so cheerful
And happy
And so funny
I wish I could be her everyday
_Now_
That girl was me
She said what was on her mind
She kept herself entertained
She felt no
Sadness
Or
Boredom
Or
Anger
Only happiness
But now
She’s gone
Stuck in her room
Being sick
For the past 5 days
Just suffering
Scrolling on her phone
24/7
Sleeping for hours
Going insane
Not knowing what she’s doing with her life
A million thoughts in my head
A million dreams passing by
Unable to focus on any school work
People talking nonstop
Being annoying
Having the need to see people
I feel alone
Just suffering
My head pounding
Every second of the day
I’m rotting in my room
Doing nothing
