Somebody I used to know

Today I was asked to think of something nice to do for myself everyday But I couldn't, I froze I couldn't think of a single nice thing I'd want to do I literally had nothing to say, My suggestions covered good deeds for others but they didn't consider me, Then it dawned on me That I don't consider myself as worthy Apparently I don't value my upkeep in any format whatsoever, So I dont actually care about me, Which is heartbreaking in reality, Somewhere along the line I lost that happy go lucky me, Who is this person who now stands before me, I do not recognise her anymore, Nor does anyone else for that matter This new persona isn't at all familiar, I only wish I could go back to happier times, But I feel trapped Staring at somebody I used to no A stranger who's lost and alone where's the girl I used to no!
