Used to…..
Used to not be afraid
Used to teach Gifted and Talented
Used to live in the South
Used to smoke
Used to be afraid of the blue oval rug in my room, because Jaws lived there
Used to think I’d grow up to be taller
Used to be unscathed
Used to be physically strong and mentally weak
Used to love those people in the past
Used to think I’d grow up and have it all together
Used to not understand love
Used to think I had all the answers
Used to float through life
Used to…..


free verse, floating thoughts, well done.
Thanks, my first try so I totally appreciate the feedback 🙂
ah, if I had a penny for every time I’ve thought “used to…”, I’d be rich by now. nice repetition my friend.
