Once upon a time
deep in the haze of
playground memories
Children once were we
Joyous and care free
An innocent breed
frolicking in a bubble existence
Play time rolled joyously
Free from the chains
of adult responsibility
Then we left behind childish things
Corruption got to us inevitably
Teen age stains accumulated
Raging hormones
Innocence evaporated
Leading us into temptation
Compromising situations
So many options
Splintered choices
Trust shattered
Egos bruised
Cynical walls constructed
Hardened shells
We become
what we fought
during our rebel phase
In order to survive
we rationalized
and compartmentalized
So it goes
So it goes
Life has a way
of stripping away
our halos
