I no longer have a glimmer in my eyes

When I was young

My head was full of dreams

Of fantasies

My eyes

Shown

And glimmered

My mouth

Constantly moving

Spitting out ideas

Then I grew up

My head became full

Of more important things

My problems and issues

My eyes dimmed

Until there was barely even

A flicker

My mouth

Snapped shut

My ideas

Trapped inside

Now here I am

No longer

The happy

Bubbly

Girl

I was
