The way it used to be...

Can't express what I'm feeling,
Even though I tried, the words just don't seem to grace me with their much needed envelop;
Even though a yawn breaks off every sentence I speak,
sleep just doesn't seem to grace me with it's embrace;
Even though every atom in my being is screaming at me to study,
Focus just doesn't seem to grace me with it's presence;
Even though I run and dance like they told me to,
I just can't seem to find the energy I wish I had;

Ohh, what I wouldn't give to be the way I used to - productive and creative rather than the lump of tired mass I seem to have become;
Ohh, how it pains my ego to once have been the smartest in the room, eager to participate in any and everything only to grow up and turn into just another silent one in the back with the occasional nods;

Ohh darling, what I wouldn't do to be the way I used to -
fearless, confident and efficient
with the naive mind of a child
yet mature enough to understand everything that went on.

Ohh, darling what I wouldn't give for everything to be the way it used to be..........

AN: Tried to string together all those 3 A.M thoughts........

Have you ever felt like you were losing potential as you grew up ?
Like the bar was going lower instead of up higher ?
What did you do then !?

Peace out ✌🏼
