It's Been So Long,
The days are beginning to blur together as I wait for something that will never come. A lost dream. A hopeless wish. A childish fantasy. I sit here waiting, trying not to lose hope. But as time goes by I feel like I’m wasting my time. It’s been so long since I’ve gone outside and noticed how the sun warms my skin. It’s been so long since I’ve walked in the rain and not used it as an excuse for wet cheeks. It’s been so long since I’ve looked in a mirror and haven’t seen a broken girl staring back at me. It’s been so long since I’ve smiled without having my mask on, that I’ve forgotten what I look like. It’s been so long since I’ve laughed, that I’m afraid I’ve forgotten how too. It’s been so long since I’ve been true to myself, that I don’t know who I am anymore.
