a future once so bright

sentimentality of childhood
not by virtue of satisfaction or pleasure
charismatic performance masked clouded actuality
still, almighty hopefulness, ambition and drive
confidence in a promising future
the world was my oyster
no longer confined by constraints of existence as a dependant child
nor a state of geographical isolation
now, wholly enslaved by my mind
the world carries on spinning
opportunity won't magically arise in time
lest I stop cutting at my own throat

- this poem is inspired by yesterdays entry in which I stated I missed my childhood not because it was particularly enjoyable but because I felt a lot more hope :))
