Remember

I wasn’t always like this, I wasn’t always sad

I remember better days and the carefree life I had

I wasn’t always living within the shadows of despair

I remember having fun and the smiles I use to wear

I wasn’t always just an obscure member of the crowd

I remember having friends and living life out loud

I wasn’t always struggling to get through every day

I remember being fearless and knowing what to say

I wasn’t always trapped by the darkness of my past

I remember having joy that I thought would always last

I wasn’t always worried or preoccupied with the pain

I remember most of a feeling of being sane
