STOLEN IN TIME

Last week
I saw someone who remembered me
we started to talk
and I realized he remembered me
before him
before his hands
before my body ached

He remembered a me
who could not lie
who did not know how
who's eyes were a window
not shutters on my soul

He remembered me
before rape was a reality
and innocence was stolen

He remembered me
before I was frozen in time
I wish he knew me now
maybe he could tell me who I used to be
and show me how to get back

I want to remember me
"Me" before him
before it
I want to remember how that felt

Tell me - I pleaded
what was I like
before he, umm, raped me
please tell me

And than I realized
he cant help me
because
"Me" doesn't mean what it used to
"Me" doesn't feel like it used to
"Me" is just another thing
Stolen in time

And I...
...I was looking in a mirror

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
