Longing for My Old Self

Once wore a smile, bright and sincere, Heart full of warmth, spreading joy far and near. Laughter and smiles, I used to create, Always happy and whole, not this irate state.
Yet here I stand, a real-life Grinch, Lost in a world where patience does flinch. A Scrooge in demeanor, bah-humbug cheer, Temper boiling, annoyance always near.
Blaming the world, truth be told, It’s just me and my attitude, growing cold. In the past, listened with patience and care, Now, irritation lingers in the air.
Complaints flow freely, a constant tide, Love and understanding pushed aside. Oh, how I miss the person I used to be, Kindhearted, loving, wild, and free.
Will she return from the shadows, I plea, Or lost in the folds of history? Sharing was my joy, love my delight, But now, left with an empty sight.
Nothing more to give, an echoing call, Longing for the old me, once standing tall. Rediscover that love, pure and bright, A memory fading into the night.
The old me, where did she go, In the echoes of time, lost in the flow. Longing for warmth and grace in every space, Missing the embrace of the person I used to chase.
Hoping for a return to that love-filled place, Yearning for the old me, life’s vast embrace. Laughter and smiles, I used to generate, Always happy and whole, I just miss that state
