I Was Hot Once

 Golden hair

Sun soaked skin
Healthy and free
Who was that girl?
Oh, yeah.
Me.

Now,
My hair is brown and dull.
My skin is deathly pale.
Everything hurts all time.
My illness issues limits
I did not realize existed.

Stretch marks and scars
Cover my once tan skin.
I haven't put a brush through
My hair in days.
My teeth are rotting.
No energy to brush.

But don't forget
I was hot once.

Illness is always
On the prowl,
Searching for it's next victim.
You can't stop it,
No matter what you do.
You might be next.
