I remember lightness
The way my body moved
Without thought
Without resistance
I remember moving
Dancing fluidly
I remember
The freedom in my bones
And now...
It feels so far
Like a story I've heard
About someone else's life
I remember moving
Dancing fluidly
I remember
The freedom in my bones
And now...
It feels so far
Like a story I've heard
About someone else's life
I miss who I was
Before the pain
Before the ache
Became all I know
I miss the ease
The effortless breath
The mornings without fear
Of how my body
Would betray me again
There were days
When I didn't think twice-
About getting up
About reaching
About walking out the door
The world felt open
The air light
And I felt so sure
Of what my body could do
Now it's all measured
Each step calculated
Each breath weighed
I miss who I was
Before the pain
Before the ache
Became all I know
I miss the ease
The effortless breath
The mornings without fear
Of how my body
Would betray me again
Betray me again
There were days
When I didn't think twice-
About getting up
About reaching
About walking out the door
The world felt open
The air light
And I felt so sure
Of what my body could do
Now it's all measured
Each step calculated
Each breath weighed
I miss who I was
Before the pain
Before the ache
Became all I know
I miss the ease
The effortless breath
The mornings without fear
Of how my body
Would betray me again
Betray me again
I'm still here
But I miss her
The one I was
Before the pain
Before the pain
Before the pain
Before the pain
