I don’t recognize myself anymore, I’m like a stranger in unfamiliar skin.
My aura has changed and I feel quite scary, like I was replaced with someone new.
I gave all of myself to people who didn’t deserve it.
I’m there for people who don’t deserve it.
I’d find a way to climb up into the sky to grab the stars if they asked.
I climbed into the sky and grabbed the moon when they asked.
I did and did and did.
I do and do and do.
I gave the best parts of myself to people who hurt me.
I give all the parts of myself to people who hurt me.
I don’t recognize myself anymore, I’m like a stranger in unfamiliar skin.
I’m sad and I can’t feel the sad because I am numb.
I gave and gave and gave and now I am a shell.
A hollow shell in the sand that keeps getting tossed back and forth by the waves.
Maybe one day I’ll learn.
Maybe things will change.
Maybe they won’t.
Maybe I just like the pain.
