It was all joy and fairytale,
until I had to grow and face the world,
It's like all my dreams had to descale,
The balance between what life threw at me and my goals swirled.

In the quitest hours of the night,
Reality crept in and got accomodation,
Took a spot into my delight,
The flashbacks of what could've been are erased and turned into fiction ,

With everything that life has to offer,
There's so much to be enjoyed,
But the pleasures of sleeplessness I suffer,
Is the one I cannot avoid.

Everyday passes with a thought of regret
Maybe I should have done things differently,
All the mistakes feel like a debt,
All this blame as if the actions were deliberately,

I never chose this life,
My choices led me to where I am today,
Nobody wakes up and choose a lowlife,
I just got driven to a point where I wish I could bring back my yesterday.

Why did I have to grow,
Life is not all glittery and glimmer,
Nothing in my life glows,
I'm fighting all darkness so it doesn't remain dimmer.

I'm glad now I can see the light,
Darkness has disappeared and I've found my joy,
my eyes are opened I guess I've received my sight,
I'm ready to move on past my mistakes and enjoy.
