Once upon a time,
When I was in my prime,
The world looked so bright,
And there was hope in my heart.
But reality dawned on me,
The truth I finally see,
Such a fool I was per se,
Life's not what I thought it to be.
My dreams once soared high,
Creativity and art was my war cry,
But now I tire, God I barely try,
The dreams and hopes, they die.
Now the child is dead,
The vision's jaded,
Nothing's alive, its all faded.
