What happened to you?
The strong believer who never lied,
The little girl who rarely cried,
Lost in the sea of lust and worry,
Searching and wishing that time would hurry.

What happened to you?
The confident soul who knew no limits,
The one who helped without any benefits,
Lost in a world of broken trusts,
Looking for a way to make things just.

What happened to you?
The child who always followed rules,
The human who’s eyes sparkled like jewels,
Lost in a jar of a billion secrets,
Drowning in a pit of a thousand leeches.

What happened to you?
The lover who always put up a fight,
The rebel that always made things right,
Lost in a land suffering from famine,
Dying in pain with no help from medicine

What happened to you?
You’ve disappeared.
You’re gone.

Favorite Quote:
"Most people are other people. Their thoughts someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation."
-Oscar Wilde
(yes, I do note the irony in quoting this)

This is lovely, and has so many levels I can't even begin.
