I got up today.
Took a look at the world, then at myself.
I wondered, when I saw my reflection,
What am I doing here?
Who am I?
Who have I become?
What happened to me?
What happened to that bright adventurous, curious, and happy girl?
The girl who always wanted to prove herself to the world.
I don’t know.
But I think, I just think
She got lost.
Lost among all the cruelty, hatred, and despair in the world
And in me.
I have changed.
I’m not the person I once was.
I’m different now.
I feel different things
And act a different way.
The world has sucked me into a world of despair
And I can’t get out.
When the changing started,
That little girl faded away until she was only a speck of a memory.
Almost as if she never existed.
I look deep into myself and I know I can get out of this mess.
But only with help,
Help that none of my friends can give,
Help that can only come from me.
Help from that little girl because that little girl was me.
I hope, I do hope
That the little girl returns to help me and make me experience life again.
Because that,
That is all the hope I have.

We do have to help ourselves first.
I'm glad to see that you have realized that.
This was a good read, thanks for sharing
Hope to see more in the future

Why is it that we are at our most ingenius only when trying to destroy the things that keep us alive and thriving?
