i have forgotten how to cry.
how to succumb to hurt,
and breathe in pain.

i have forgotten how to wish.
how to feel it my bones,
and want it more than anything else.

i have forgotten how to believe.
how to trust with all my heart,
and love with no regret.

i have forgotten how to be.
how to be at peace,
and accept all of life's punches.

i have forgotten,
why.
