Yesterday when I was young/ Nostalgia
My thoughts wandered
off to Wonderland,
what a great piece of land
I wish to be here 'til the end.
I come upon two paths,
one leads to my history,
another one is a mystery.
The future is not for me to bother,
I dwelled to the past, without having to saunter.
Anger, self-doubt and fear, lie in oblivion,
aligned as the belt of Orion.
A year ago these thoughts overpowered me
now I'm glad to have set myself free.
I proceed with the train of thoughts.
It takes me further down memory lane,
some memories are full of agonizing pain.
I finally reached my destination,
I see a young me, so carefree.
Singing at the top of my lungs
not caring if the lyrics are correct.
Every other thing was fun and games
playing with strangers, without knowing their names.
Expectations and age sipped away all the fun,
all these memories are from
yesterday when I was young.
