"Eyes, once full of hope and lofty dream, Now stare at passer-by,  all rheumy eyed. Gait of the man that once was. Like a sign post, saying: Here!, 'how I do not want to be when I am grown" ... @incognitaio

HOW I DO NOT WANT TO BE WHEN I'M GROWN
"Eyes, once full of hope and lofty dream, Now stare at passer-by,  all rheumy eyed. Gait of the man that once was. Like a sign post, saying: Here!, 'how I do not want to be when I am grown" ... @incognitaio
Borne out of the fear of ever getting to the point where I will not be able to take care of responsibilities. The fear of failure and/or being ordinary.
