The girl I used to be

Now follows me

Wherever I go

Down the street

Into the store

Everywhere.

 

I can’t escape her

She judges me

Tortures me

With my own memories

My nightmares

Will I ever be free?

 

She doesn’t make a sound

But her presence is enough

The thoughts

The emotions

The broken

I can feel it all

 

Cascading off her figure

As hot as the burning sun

The feelings I locked away

I shield myself

Strength is lost

I am lost

 

The girl I used to be

Will always be here

My past as a reminder

She is my shadow

The girl I used to be.
