Who Was I

Believe me when i say
I was not like this from aye
I was once whole before they broke me,
I was once happy before they made me turn melancholic,
I was once beautiful, before they left scars on me,
I was once joy before the sorrow wrapped me,
I was once positive before the clouds of negativity rained over me,
I was once a clear blue sky before it turned grey,
I wanted to ascertain life but now i just want to die,
I was once a believer, a Dreamer, a lover

I learnt to love sky, sun, moon, stars,
I loved everything that didn't rip me,
Now I'm broken, now I'm nauseated, now i hate every damn thing
Now i have cracks in my mind and heart but that's how i give off light.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
