A stranger in your childhood mind;
Having strayed too far in the great outside
You've been shaped by a world you'd pre-despised
And now return home unrecognised.
Dust now coats the antiqued thoughts
That tweak nostalgia of loosely laid laws;
Of pennies spent and pills inscribed
With the names you'd once romanticised.
But time in lieu since sent you off
To hoove bare morsels from another trough.
You've nibbled a few, and wanted more,
But aren't impressed with the current score.
But welcome back to the crossroads friend.
Come choose a new path for you to upend.
You've weathered since you were first here
So perhaps hereon it'll be more clear.
