My Place

A place for creativity.aaaaaaaaaaaaA place for self-expression.

A place for brutally honest writing.

You vs. Now

You don't look like yourself anymore
Where is that person I used to know?

the person who laughed
like the earth would if it could

the person whose eyes
held all the colors of the rainbow
and sparkled like the pot of gold waiting at the end of it

the person who spoke 
of happiness like it was always present

Now 
your laugh is 
dry, hollow and empty

Now
your eyes are
dark and red

Now
you speak of happiness like it's
always at one's fingertips
but never present

Who are you?
Where is the person I've always loved?

  1. That's powerful and well written. I think we can all relate to seeing a stranger in the mirror.
