Was I Always-

I was a hoper, a dreamer,

a coward, a sleeper

romanticized and fantasized

Different settings

same people

Different academia

New tribulations

College.

 

Was the world always this cruel

Or are my halcyon days too thick to see through

To high to reach

Before I knew it, I know it to be true

I lost motive,

emotive

Aurum elation

 

Menial struggle and depression

Confession confusion

Tried to go to church

Try to please the masses

“I can’t do, what 10 people tell me to do”-

aspirations too deep to drink

unfulfilled.

Sloth my vices

 

New tribulations

Same people

Different setting

Different academia

College.
