Before & Now

by Raquel   May 5, 2006


I used to be 11, but now I am 15.
I used to be happy but now I am sad.
I used to be alone, but now I am lonely.
I used to be quiet, but now I am loud.
I used to be busy, but now I am bored.
I used to be Raquel, but now I am Peruchis.
I used to drink soda, but now I drink beer.
I used to be skinny, but now I am chunky.
I used to cry, but now I smile.
I used to smile, but now I frown.
I used to like him, but now I love him.
I used to do drugs, but now I smoke cigarettes.
I used to be loved, but now I am hated.
I used to survive, but now I try to survive.
I used to be smart, but now I am intelligent.
I used to see him, now I dream of him.
I used to kiss him, now i blow him kisses.
I used to have everything, but now everything is gone.

    You haven't lost everything, I promise. You love him. You have love, which means you still feel. THis is good. You're smoking instead of gettign high. THis is better, too.

    P.s.

    Intelligence isn't a bad thing to have...
