Long ago there was hopes and dreams

And everything else that lay in between.

Back then I had no idea what it means

To lose everything to the world at large.

I thought I was bound in icy chains

In a rut that would never change.

That I could always stay the same

Oh for the days of stagnant youth

When one could be a simple fool.

I learned hard, I learned fast

The lessons are bitter, the taste will forever last.

Along with the memories of the past.

For the world struck hard, it’s blame went deep

My soul bled crimson, tears streamed as I wept

Agony beard her ruthless face

And made my stubborn ideals become a disgrace.

It took so long to learn the truth.

That change will come whether you like it or not

Even when the opposite is what you’ve sought.
