But Now

Used to be friendly, colorful, and nice

But now, now I'm gloomy, lonely, and show fear to others

Used to have good grades and good friends

But now, now I'm out of school wondering around the streets abandoning my friends

Used to be healthy with gorgeous hair and nice clothes

But now, now I'm skin and bones with stringy dingy hair looking for the next meal to help me survive

I used to be alive

But now, now I'm six feet under looking down below at the tear-stained faces that came to watch my body and soul become one with the earth
