I used to be such a beautiful delicate Rose, now all I am is dead Rose that has been Wilting in the winds of disappointment/stress and solace.     I used to look at myself in the mirror 🪞 and be happy with what I see, a beautiful girl with long spiral curly hair along with a nice slim figure and beautiful beautiful big brown coffee eyes. All I see now is a used to be beautiful girl that went from an 8 to a 4, her big brown eyes became smaller, her nice slim figure is thicker, and her long textured hair became nothing... Relationships, the 🌎, and people can damage you. Most importantly.. YOU can damage you. Putting others before your happiness will destroy you. Since I was a little girl I was putting people before me at all times; I wish someone would of taught me to love myself the way you're supposed.     I used to be such a kind soul. Still am but my eyes and my glow are not as bright anymore. It has dimmed down to depression, anxiety, and introversion what makes me seem like a monster... The people I gave/give my heart to and my all to are the same people (including myself) that made me into the dead Rose I see today. I just want to see my glowing light shine nice and bright...   🥀      Like it used to.

Used To
you used to dream in moody lit bars raise your glass higher and higher each time. you used to live in tricolors gleaming across the atmosphere all at once. you used to shine brighter than the sun but your light dimmed darker and darker every time. i know you aren’t ok anymore, but i really wish you were

When sadness came as a raging river I used to reach into my trusty quiver To pull out the Arrow made of honey and heal the wounds that were fresh and ****** --- Now, when sadness comes, I have no defense The quiver was lost and it made no sense Now my wounds are sore and bleeding That honeyed Arrow was an arrow fleeting...

How it used to be...
Losing my **** over you is an understatement, that's something a person like you would do, not me honey.

Your loss, not mine.
You've been gone for so long Or maybe it was I this time. It's hard to say that I'm wrong, when I've just wanted to be right. As you light your cigarette, does it taste like things used to? It all change so suddenly, but that's what it's supposed to do. Orders meant to be followed, not taken. Maybe all the words exchanged were just mistaken. You can't say thank you if your mouth's already full. Pretending you aren't broken doesn't fill the hole, But creating false presentation does grow old.

Mouth's Already Full
Perhaps, the most saddest thing you can hear someone say is "I'm used to it."
