And I remember those days back then
When I felt like I could conquer
Anything
Or was it falsehood all along
No one truly has the capacity to
Single handedly
Defy fate
Not alone at least
And that time I felt complete
This is a true test
Can I defy all odds
And become a conqueror
As incomplete as I am
Or will I waste the rest of my life
Trying to achieve something
In the first place
The piece is inspired by how I'm pretty sure everyone as a kid felt once where we had no worries about anything and thought we would just dominate the world without any problems.
The process for writing this piece was just writing what I felt when I was a kid and had foolish dreams, to what I feel now that I'm less than a year from graduating from high school and not knowing what the future holds for me. I structured my poem by how I believe everyone wanted to feel forever and how I think my childhood was really fun especially because I was just a kid living the best of life.
