When I Was Younger

When I was younger I felt beautiful 
When I was younger I was happy 
When I was younger I was confident 
When I was younger my mind was at peace

Now that I’m older I am ugly and scarred 
Now that I’m older my heart is in pain 
Now that I’m older I’m full of fear
Now that I’m older my mind is always at war
