how can I be the same?

how can I be the same after what I've done to me??

   after the fear I've placed
   inside my little broken heart.
   after the hopelessness I've given
   to my already despondent mind.
   after the love I've seized from
   within the thin walls of my heart.
   after the peace I've confiscated from
   my already shaken apprehensive mind.

how can I be the same after what I've done to me??
