You Used To

You used to laugh easily, genuine and heartfelt.

You projected enthusiasm.

Were energetic and playful.

Spoke confidently.

Your personality was out there

for others to enjoy.

I miss all that.

I don't know where it went.

You folded inside of yourself, protective

and tentative.

Self-doubt killed the laughter.

Fear and anxiety destroyed the confidence 

and enthusiasm.

Did life do this to you? Or is it your

perception of what life has done?

I am more comfortable with you as you were.

I need you back.

You need you back.

Before life falls away beneath you.
