Me When I Was Me - By Jennifer Carmical


Me when I was me
Without fear
Songs inside my heart
I was here

Now I live in clouds
Watching you
Like you were t.v.
Only true

Me when I was me
Was smiling without thinking
Of something to smile for

I remember her
How she used to be
Me when I was me

Don't take my picture
I look strange
To myself these days
Must be change

Walking's not skipping
Humming's not singing
And I used to
I used to be

Me when I was me
Smiling and singing
Skipping, not thinking
Of something to smile for

I will remember
Who she used to be
Me when I was me
