That I played on every day.
That used to be the corner,
Of the block on which I'd always stay.

That used to be my desk.
Fourth back, third to the right.
I still remember the phone numbers,
Of the friends I'd call each night.

I remember the weight I felt on my chest,
As soon as I walked through the door.
I remember when my first thought in the morning would be:
"I just can't take it anymore!"

That used to be the bathroom stall
That I would cut in twice a week.
As well as the same place,
Where I would purge all that I'd eat.

It amazes me that I put mysef
Through so much misery and strife.
But it's better now that i can say:
"That USED TO BE my life". [comments] => 2 [counter] => 157 [topic] => 61 [informant] => xXx_lil_pyro_xXx [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => selfstruggles )
