Little darlin’, it’s been a long, cold, lonely winter It feels like years since it’s been here Now I have baggy, dull shirts with jeans Then, I’d wear anything but Now I struggle with communicating Then, I was a social butterfly Now I can’t seem to find motivation for art often Then my stepdad would push me to do what I loved because he said I was “Amazing and talented!” Little darlin’, I feel like ice is slowly melting in my brain. It feels like years since my head has been clear. I tend to miss him and his grayish eyes that always had a twinkle in them when he was cheerful Now I sit in my room figuring out what to do with myself Then, Eddie would check on me while I was splattering colorful paint on a bright white canvas But here comes the sun each day, I dread it almost every time because the thought of missing loved ones hurts too much. Now, I wake up before the sun, waiting to see how my week unravels like a red carpet. Then, I used to want to grow up & move out of this place, Now I’m not sure what to do. But it’s alright, soon I’ll start to feel like me again.
