Shadow

I once was huge
Now I’m so small
I used to run
Now I can barely crawl

I swear that once I dreamed so big
Now I cling to the scraps left behind
I once thought I could touch the sky
Now I can't even win this war in my mind

I used to be so loud
Now I'm so scared to talk
I used to stand out
Now I'm hiding in doubt

I used to scream
Now I'm trying to whisper
And I used to know light
Before your darkness made me blind

You shattered me
You destroyed my spirit
You broke who I was
Only left those pieces

I can remember her
She's still on my mind
But I'm only a shadow
Of the girl I once was

Eu me contradigo? Muito bem, então, eu me contradigo; eu sou vasto - eu contenho multitudes." (Walt Whitman) (insta:mayart.b)
