Was I Always like this?

Riya Jain

Was I always like this ?
 Always thinking,
 Never present in the moment.
 Always a reason escape , never to live.
 
 Was I always like this ? 
 Always worrying,
 Never ending theories running in my head.
 Always a reason to think, Never one to stop and breathe.
 
 Was I always like this ? 
 Always trying to run away,
 For the best or for the worst.
 maybe from the fears or maybe from uncertainty,
 Always a reason to run, never to be saved.
 
 Was I always like this ? 
 Always quiet,
 Left alone or excluded.
 Always an option , never the choice.
 
 Was I always like this ?
 Always forgetting,
 Every memory, good or bad.
 Always a distorted perception of reality, never a favourite memory.
 
 Was I always like this ? 
 I wasnt ,right ? 
 Did I have a moment of peace ? 
 Did I breathe instead of dying ?
 Did I stay instead of running ? 
 For once? Or twice ? 
 Or was I always like this?
