I Used to Smile

I used to Smile,
Then it was real.
I used to laugh,
I used to feel.

I used to play,
Without a care in the world.
I used to love,
Everything and everyone.

I used to be...
Happy,
Free.

I used to sleep soundly,
Now I lay scared.
I used to have a dry face,
But now it's covered in tears.

I used to run for joy,
Now it's just fear.
I used to be a child,
But I was forced to grow up.

Why is it me?
Why do I have to remember the pain?
Why did you take my innocents?
Why...just why?

I used to Smile.
