A Different Life

A Different Life
LindaC

My life has changed
I am not the person I used to be.
All that remains of my former life
Is an empty, cold, hard shell.

Days past were filled with happiness.
I felt alive and eager to embrace each new day'
Now when I awake I have a feeling of dread.
I ask how I will ever make it through the day.

I am so fragile, a wrong word spoken crushes me.
I am so easily hurt.
I want to hide from the world.
And sleep my life away.

Sleep does not come easily.
Nights offer me no rest.
Your life ended way too quickly.
Now, I just want mine to end.
