It wasn’t long ago when I chirped like a bird
Sprinkling around, little laughter of joy.
But soon principles were born with life’s essence.
When I thought I matured, I’d lost my innocence…
As time proceeded, eyes followed my pace
Disapproving and alarming, anxious & grave.
Every step I took forward, raised questions with a glare.
When I thought I was worried for, I’d lost all care…
Life moved on and so did we all.
Bound by rejection, I accepted withdrawal.
But time brought me closer to an acquaintance destined.
When I thought I earned a companion, I’d lost my friend…
And then it came… A time when life seems filled with roses.
And smiles returned with a natural zeal.
But a broken promise my wet eyes concealed –
A love half lost was used as bait.
When I thought I was in love, I’d lost my soul mate…
Tired, obliterated, defeated and vanquished –
I seemed to reach my end and lay perished.
Attempted to fight back with a step so naïve;
When I thought I existed, I’d lost my life…
