I grew up loved
but felt unloved.
I grew up with the screams
but also quietness.
I grew up with a smile,
and now I frown.
I grew up with dreams,
and now they're gone.
I grew up loving the cold,
and now I fear it.
I grew up watching the rain through my window,
and now I wish it would stop.
I grew up with friends,
but now my sides are empty,
with only air for placement.
I grew up seeking fun in the outside of my house,
now, I only go to run away from the inside of that house.
I grew up trusting too easily,
now I search for isolation.
I grew up with pictures and colors,
now I am empty of possessions.
I grew up loving too easily,
now I forget love exists.
I grew up wanting more,
and now...
I want less.
