Once Long Ago

​TW: Self harm, suicidal idealization

Once long ago I was happy
I had everything I could ever want
Light shone in my eyes
Now those days are just a taunt

Once long ago I wasn't stressed out
I was happy and carefree
I didn't worry too much
I knew people cared about me

One long ago I wasn't depressed
I was social and bright
I didn't stay in my room all day
I didn't have to fight

Once long ago I felt love
I knew that I wasn't alone
I thought I was safe
I wish that I would've known

Once long ago I felt no pain
No scars covered my wrist
I only laughed and played
I was glad to exist

Once long ago I lived
I breathed and walked around
I didn't long for a bullet
I was bright and star-bound
Once long ago I was happy
