Life stole my heart and kept it safe.
Not safe enough.
No time to think. No time to groan. No time to worry.
Just life.
This is me. No time. No time.
Just life.
There is you. No…
There was you.
Now there is life.
My life.
My life is slow. My life is complicated words,
New languages, math tests and stress.
Life.
Not you. Not time.
My stress… my anxiety… but…
I miss that… I miss … but no.
I don’t.
My heart song?
I thought I left it in another country,
Safe.
But no, you stole something. Just a string…
It hurts.
This isn’t me.
Who am I? I forget. Who was I? Who will I be?
Is this me?
No.
Tell me… who am I? …
Take me… make me something I can understand.
None of this heart ache.
No. Not you… never you… someone new…
But you… that’s who… only who… but…

No. but…
This isn’t me.
