Part of Me

Back
        When my hands flew and my hair grew.
Back
        When my eyes were wide and my heart wider.

When I felt the leaves, the carpet, and the wind.
When I could taste every fiber of air.
When every up and down was significant.

Now
        My hands stay in my pockets.
Now
        My eyes are lost and my heart disguarded.

My senses are dulled to a distance.
My mind is filled with waste.
My emotions are insignificant.

What happened to me?

Oh, yeah, I changed all right.

But the worst thing of all,
the fact that
aches, stings, and bruises...

I can never go back.
