Life Caused It

I’m not sure what’s wrong with me.
I remember how I use to be so care free.
Not a single thing would affect me.
The happiest of me,
were the long ago me.
Now I’m just losing sight of everything.
Playing pretend,
Faking a smile,
Being the best I could be for those around me.
Is truly taking a toll on me.
I wish…
I could be the old me…

    The feeling of mourning for the you you used to be I’d such a strange and frustrating ache.

    The one lesson my friends keep drumming home is that I should learn to take care of myself first. It’s not an easy thing…which is why I find this relatable

      Your misspellings scared me. I assumed your “edd” was “oded” (overdosed). And your “help” and your gibberish. I can be so caring sometimes.
