I Used To Write

I used to write to ease the pain,
now I feel I live in vain.
I used to write to express myself,
but now it's to hard to except myself.
I used to write to show I care,
I even bought some teddy bears.
I used to write to not feel alone,
I just know I can't make it on my own.
Now I write to take up time,
trying to get these vowels to rhyme.
