Missing Pieces

I sensed I was lighter,

Parts of me missing on the way

I sensed I was sadder,

My shoulders carried all the load. 

I sensed I was older, 

Lines drawn across my face.

I sensed I was colder,

My soul locked behind walls.

I sensed I was wiser, 

Silence was my best kept answer. 

I sensed I was calmer, 

Maybe I had found what I lost.
