I miss

I miss when mirrors were used only to brush my teeth

And weren’t also used as a confidence thief

I miss when i could cry over a scratched knee

And not cry over criticising society

I miss when i could go to school and joke about

And not always be mentally burnt out

I miss when i didn’t care what people think

And now i constantly bethink

I miss when i would draw

And now that passion feels so raw

I miss when i played sports

And not be scared to be judged on the courts

I miss when i could hangout with friends

And not be locked in my room forever on weekends

I miss when i could play pretend for hours on end

And not be on social media looking at the latest trend

I miss when i could play hide and seek

And not feel like a total freak

I miss when i could dress up

And not feel like im messed up

I miss when i could go outside and play

And not be looked at in a judgemental way

I miss when i was carefree

And now thats all i want to be

I miss when i could be myself

but for now i will sit on a shelf

I miss when life was in colour

And now lifes feeling alot duller
