Who is this person that I have become? I used to be acute, radiant, true, but now... I don't know who I am. I flit between living and lying, feeling then dying - there's no point in trying. When did I change so much that I lost who I was at the start? "What happened to you?", strangers guise, their sad eyes looking through the disguise I so pitifully tried to hide under. Nothing works - my mind died along with the happiness I used to know; when she died, I died with her. The rapturous girl who left along with the world and I was left dying eternally in her wake.
~~ In the absence of sadness, I am absent from myself. ~~
