A GLIMPSE OF MY OLD SELF

 

Last night, I caught a glimpse of my old self,

She was afraid of me, and I could not relate to her.

We share the same body and the same nerves, yet we’re not the same,

She thought so highly, of the world, of its people, she had big dreams.

 Ones which I now laugh at, oh! how foolish of her,

To believe this world is anything but a test.

A test that teaches you valuable lessons,

Lessons of love, success, friendship, and betrayal.

There was a spark in her eyes, which I have known for a long time.

Or is it knowledge, the knowledge of the truth?

And the truth is,

No one would think twice before running you down
