do you ever miss the you that wasn't full of anxiety and trust issues, the you that was kind and untamed by the words of hate from the rest of the world? do you ever miss the you that didn't worry about stress and getting A's on every single test, the you who had never been afraid to take a chance instead of your own life? do you ever miss the you who made friends with everyone, the you who had not a care in the world of what people thought of you? do you ever miss how naive you used to be, or how innocent you were?  i do. i miss the me i was before people turned in to ******* and the me i was before bullies had the chance to bring me down. i miss the me i was before the age of 17. i miss the me i used to be when i though about jumping out of a tree to show my brothers i wasn't scared instead of thinking of jumping off of a bridge to show that no one really cares. i miss the me i was when i could talk to anyone about anything. now i have no idea who i can tell what and if i can trust them not to tell anyone else. i miss the me i was when i didn't worry about getting good grades in school. now i worry about what i'm going to get on a test that calculates how smart i am and what i've learned to place me into a category of points to see if i got enough to start enrollment at a junior college that will start the next two years of my life. i used to not worry about things like my hair and good grades and hate, and now that's all that anything seem to be about these days.
