I Used To Be Beautiful
This is where it all begins. Lay down the truth, for everyone to see. Who were you in the past? In a poem, a few words, or whatever it is you would like to express yourself with, tell us who you used to be. Feel free to message me (XForgetThePainX) and I will add you to the author's list. This whole idea was inspired by a poem I wrote, which is below.
I used to be beautiful
and back then I didn't have to try.
Because everything in life was beautiful,
Even the harshness of your lies.
I used to be special
but that was so long ago.
I'm afraid everything has changed now,
I just though I'd let you know.
I used to be important
to more than just myself.
But if even I don't love me,
How can anybody else?
I used to be imaginary
and I'd simply fade away from your eyes.
With a flick of fairy dust,
I could silence their every cry.
I used to be a dreamer
but I can no longer sleep alone.
In the midst of demons and monsters,
taunting me from my very home.
I used to be in love,
and I unfortunately still am.
You cannot just erase a memory,
As soap washes a mistake from your hand.
I used to see clearly
and nothing had to hide away.
No shadows in the lurking darkness,
No nights without anything to say.
I used to be calm,
but that was before I met you.
Turning and twisting me into a monster.
Tell me--are you proud of what you do?
I used to be normal,
but that was back when I actually cared.
When I spent my nights sleeping, dreaming
Not sitting with a blade so immensely scared.
I used to be like you,
I used to be like them.
Life really is beautiful,
When pain isn't killing you from within.
I used to be beautiful
and back then I didn't have to try.
Because everything in life was beautiful,
Even the harshness of your lies.
I used to be special
but that was so long ago.
I'm afraid everything has changed now,
I just though I'd let you know.
