Please forgive me as I weep once again for the life I once lived.

Those care free days seem so distant now.

The laughter and innocence I once knew now fading into oblivion.

Now new memories being made without so much as a thought for the well-being of my soul.

Turning now to the path set before me.

So large and terrifying.

As I cry now for the days of imagination and having not a care in the world.

But now as childhood is taken from me and adulthood takes a firm grasp, I am pointed towards the future which can not be avoided.

No more can I return to the days of my youth.

No more can I throw caution to the wind.

No more can I fly without the leash of reality and responsibility to keep me tethered to the ground.

This is the pains of adulthood and this is why I cry.
