Old poems. Old me. Lonely nights like these I wonder if I really still exist if I'm not so full of youth. I'm still young, but it feels like there's something missing in my heart everyday. I miss who I once was. That boy who was always trying to impress. I feel I've given up in a sense. On being me, like an empty slate was the best form of self preservation. It's sad. Like a character born from trauma, that's so colorless. It's hard to differentiate sometimes, if I've missed you, or myself more. Or what we had, the innocence disappeared so quickly. Too quickly.
