I'm A Shadow Of My Former Self

RSS

By No Child Is Innocent Once Born •

I'm a shadow of my former self, A weaker counterpart. Because of the ways things were to me, They tore and damaged my heart. I'm a shadow of my former self, A disappointment near to come. Because of the way things seem to me, Nothing around me feels like home. I'm a shadow of my former self, A stupid one, unkind. Because of the ways things are to me, I've nearly lost my mind. I'm a shadow of my former self, With blankness in my head, Because of the way things are said to me, I know I'm better off dead.
