I looked in the mirror,
Trying to figure out who I've become.

All I see is the same eyes,
Same face,
Staring back at me.

But I've changed.

I read over my old diaries,
Checked my old books,
My writing's the same.

But I've changed.

I dig deep enough.
I touched my soul.
I read the secret messages on my heart,
And rethought the thoughts of the past.

And that's where I realized,
How I changed.

I was no longer kind,
No longer pure.
No longer mine,
I was all yours,
I lost me.
And somewhere in all that,
You lost me.

So who should I be?

I can't be my past self,
Why?
Cause she's all dead.

You killed her,
I killed her,
We killed her.

But she's gone.
I've changed.
I'm not sure who I've become,
But strangely,

I like it.

And all I did was feel.

I felt all the pain until the numbness consumed me.

I was dead.

I was changed.
