How Did I Get Here

I once used to be chirpy bubbly, I once used to laugh on my fall. I find myself now dull and quite. how did I end up here of all. how did I forget my smile, did I just let it slip away, help me fathom the haul. I used to share my every bit, I used to open up my soul. how did I end up concealing my self, how did i end up in a box. I can see the warmth of touch, but feel nothing at all. there were times when i chatted merrily, in one breath, without a thought. now I pause my self to think, did I overstep my line, or did I mutter something wrong. this is is so unlike me, but some how it is me. I still love the old me, but the cautious me has taken the reins.
