I remember brighter days,
better days.
When I smiled more,
I was eccentric.
My spin on life was humor,
and life was different.
Long before I knew what rejection was.
My characteristics were brighter,
I held onto hope.
Instead I faced a world
of reality.
Where I was tortured,
finding the world cruel
and intolerable.
Words would be aimed,
judged on my defects.
My world crumbled from
what I expected.
I miss those days
when things seemed
to be brighter.
When I was ignorant,
and was unaware of
the cruel nature in life.
With much wisdom gained,
I still wish I had some of those
glory days to look forward to.
