What I used to be

Contributed by Katie101 on Friday, 13th January 2012 @ 08:10:58 PM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems

I used to wish on shooting stars
and believe the words of lullabies,
I used to think time was forever,
but I never realized that every hello turns into another goodbye.
I used to believe in magic and miracles,
My smiles were so wide you could hardly see my eyes,
I used to think someone like you would never leave me,
But I finally learned my lesson this time.
I used to have a laugh that was contagious,
and a silly joke that could cheer up your day,
I always was the one to lean on,
I always knew what to say.
I always lived in the moment,
Never worried about tomorrow,
I would always do my own work,
But now I beg, steal and I borrow.
I used to be so kind,
and cry if I hurt your heart,
I used to make every friend forever,
but it seems we've grown apart.
I swore I would never touch the things I've touched,
or say the things I've said,
I swore I'd never do the things I've done,
But look where my vows have lead.
Now I think magic is just silly,
And I've lost my kind spirit,
I used to give my heart away,
But now I can't let you anywhere near it.
I've always known change was coming,
and to be honest, I've always had a fear.
I fear I would become so different I couldn't find my old self,
But look what we've got here.
I thought I'd always love you,
But it seems I was once again wrong,
I knew there was a reson I've always feared change,
It makes you feel alone in a place you don't belong.
Take me back to the days where I believed anything you told me,
When I always trusted you,
and you always adored me.
Take me back to the days where I made you proud,
Where you would always smile at the things I said,
no matter how rediculous they would sound.
I just want to love you again,
and find who I used to be,
They say you change for the best,
But I guess we'll just have to see.

We live in a cynical world that changes us --how sad is that. We grow up wanting to believe in fairy tales and happy endings ..only to be disappointed time and time again. But..one thing I have learned ,there are good people in the world and good things can happen,if we have a little faith. I know it is hard sometimes,but life is short and we have to apprecaite what we have in our lives... :)

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
