Before and After
By Renokhan
Before as a child, life was easy. I never knew strife, and I hardly knew pain. A world of wonder and mystery called to my brain, Like a sponge soaking up water, I could never get my fill. The sky was huge and I had nothing to do. Birthdays were special and a year seemed forever. Life was good when I was a child. After I grew up the land I live in seemed so strange. Like a change had occurred and there was no one to blame. Love and lies and murder and death gained meaning and life grew beyond wonder and into disgust. Never again became a recurring theme. Life moved further from the dream. Written September 27th, 2001 © on Sep 27 2001 06:09 AM PST 0 • 1
