The world needs more chocolate

no, i did not write this for you.  i just realized today that this summer, i've fallen into a rut, and i'm tired of it...  this is just what came to mind, so take it or leave it.  i'm too tired to care at the moment.  and yes, i know it needs work.  a lot of it.  but i have 4 more weeks before i have to do hw :-P

She's lost who she is
It makes her sad
Although, she lost because she was

She used to be music
outloud, nonstop
Singing for hours on end

She used to be band
challenging pieces
clear unwavering notes

She used to be books
insatiable hunger
vicariously living in words

She used to be writing
poetry at dusk
heartwrenching nonfiction, drama and more

She used to be
But it's gone

She used to be people
that much remains
it consumes her every day

She used to be surrounded
summer came
loneliness not held at bay

She used to be stationary
yet everywhere at once
now her pattern is stagnant

She used to have interests
now she's consumed
with keeping the quiet away

She used to be

She used to be

But why not now?
why can't she change
find what used to be life

Don't replace
but add to
with grace
Mix a pleasing concoction

Songs die in her throat
so sing while alone

Music gathers dust
so play while able

Books age unread
get lost in the pages

Ideas pass, discarded
keep paper at hand

Stop moping for people
Schedule time and enjoy

You don't have to be
what you once were before
Life keeps on growing,
so change, don't start over
Develop talents and hobbies
don't waste days pinning

She's lost who she was
Maybe that was worth losing
Now make something of your newfound clean slate.
