I used to be ,

but now I am not.

I used to be a cutter,

but now I am not.

I used to be an addict,

but now I am not.

I used to be afraid,

but now I am not.

I used to be protected,

but now I am not.

I used to be a sweet little girl,

but now I am not.

I used to be safe,
But now I am not.

I used to be sane,
But now I am not.
