Lost in transition : A poem about growing up.

in poetry •  8 years ago  (edited)


Intoxicated with joy

A happy kid I used to be

Nothing ever seemed like a challenge

As lived together my imagination and reality


Intoxicated with dreams

A young boy I grew up to be

Life felt so dry without challenges

As I bridged my imagination and reality


Intoxicated with lust

A young man I turned out to be

Chasing pleasures all around

As I soaked every bit of reality


Now my dreams tease me with reality

The only joy comes from intoxication

I’m no more the person I used to be

I am lost in transition

Loved it!

I love this ! Beautiful poem! Thinking about growing up makes me sad. It all happens so fast, before we know it. Our childhood is over ! Then we carry the burdens of adulthood. It's hard sometimes.

more than the burdens, it's our adaptation to goals, which are rarely driven by our imagaination

Don't ever forget the baby, boy, lad, man you used to be. :) Very good poem...

@vegascomic thank you :)
