Younger wisdom.

I forgot a lot of valuable things as I got older

I lost some of my happiness and freedom and my heart seems to have grown colder

When I was a little boy I dreamed big and believed I could be anything one day

I was truly happy climbing trees and did not worry about things like hours or pay

Now I am not even sure I am good at being me and worry what others think

No longer do I just sit and stare at the world in wonder, nowadays I would get upset if I covered my new suit in ink

I want to get ahead and have a career, but I dreamt of being a poet, geologist, writer, adventurer or good old fashioned knight

So tonight upon realising this I avowed to change and return to my childish ways,
it was an epiphany truly as if I had seen the light

So on my day off I am going to lie in not read the paper, and for breakfast cocoa puffs and thundercats

I’m going to the shop with a whole £2, to deliberate on how many sweets I can get then I’m going to wear fun clothes and a silly hat

I will wake up knowing the world is mine, I can be anything that I want I can do anything I want
even leave my crusts

I won’t conform any longer to all these silly musts

I will walk around in funny manners as I find it funny and it’s good to use your body I know, we all know this instinctively

I will begin to naturally think more positively

I won’t bear long created grudges, instead I will play with sand and glitter and shiny things

I think adopting this approach I will thaw my frozen heart, then I can start to concentrate on growing wings.

I look forward now to growing younger and learning all those forgotten things.
