I am not the same
My war stories seem tame
But the scars I wear
They are like constant reminders of pain

I had a good life
But I'm still not the same
Somethings different
Somethings missing

Hello past me
I'm calling to tell you
You're a fucking idiot

Dear future me
You probably are too

I haven't looked myself in the mirror
Since you said goodbye

I didn't want to change
Change took me by the hand
And shoved me in the deep end

Hello, I'm calling to tell you
That I miss you

Hello?

Can anyone hear me?

Maybe I'm not suppose to be the same anymore
I think it's time to move on
Because maybe who I was is worse then who I am.

Hello...
I know you'll never pick up again.

Dear mom I'm sorry to say
That today is just not my day
And tomorrow
Or even the next

Hello.
I love you.
And also fuck you.

Dear Dad
I'm sad

HELLO.
You guys make me feel happy.
I almost forgot what that felt like.

Hey bro.
I am sorry from long ago
I appreciate you now
Please forgive me for then

hello.
I'm scared to lose you all
Don't leave without a call

I am not sure what to do.
I'm not the same.
And no one is to blame
Except me

.....hello.
I wish I could erase my memory and meet you again. 
Maybe you'd love me then.

Things that stay the same
Also remain unnamed.
Maybe change was my twisted blessing
Hopefully this isn't too depressing.

Hell- the number you are trying to reach has been disconnected or is no longer in service.

Goodbye.
