There was a time in my life
when I wasn't such a rigid realist
Before experience told me the truth
And the pain of life took hold
The bliss of ignorance
It once embraced me too
Dreams were fantastic then
Daydreams and love, it was all fun;
wonderful and intriguing
The excitement of life
captivating my very being
I was exhilarated!
Motivated into shape!
Loving my life & myself
it was easy then
but that was before
the experience set in
