Softly Strong

I said I'd never ever break, But I fell; And I couldn't wake, Only in hell. When did I become fragile? I used to be so strong. Now everyday is a battle, And those days are so long. I never wanted to change, Now I'm filled with fear. Everyday is so strange; Everyday feels like a year. When it hit, It hit hard. Now I'm in a constant fit, And it's leaving me scarred. What can I do? How do I get out? I say my name, and they say, "Who?" I'm stuck in a drought. I'm not who I used to be. I'm bound in chains. I just want to be free, But now it constantly rains. *Written on June 12, 2017
