Lost Years
When I was young and impatient
I couldn't wait to run out the door
Lost back in time, I left behind
Those choices I chose to ignore
I knew I needed to find my way
And make something of myself
But I just wanted to have some fun
And so, put those years on a shelf
This became, my revolving door
Determination turned to doubt
First I went in, but quickly then
The door I went in, sent me out
Standing in front of the mirror
My image now betrays my fears
I won't live forever, I know
Forcing me to mourn those lost Years
I love and laugh with lots of fun
That's something I must admit
But granted return to change lost years
I hope, I would change quite a bit!
