When did I go
From being so bright eyed
Listening intently
In the classroom,
Hopeful,
To staring with dead eyes
Taking orders
At a job,
Jaded–
The nights
Used to make everything seem
So separate,
Yet here I stand,
Some sort of exhausted
Accumulation of the days.
Took the words right out of my mouth. I hate being jaded. Life was easier when we were unaware of things.
sorry Paul for stealing the words, plagiarism is no joke! lolol but actually I miss the days of being blissfully ignorant
That makes two of us! 😄 those good old days of blissful ignorance
Lol those days were so wonderful
You seem so sad all the time. I surely hope there is some happiness in your life. Wishing you some contentment in parts of your life anyway… xo
I think I’m pretty happy I think it’s kind of like Proust said, the times when I was depressed and sad were the most important because I learned the most so that’s what I focus on on! Hope you have a good day:)
Cool I’m glad to hear this. Maybe I misunderstood your poetry then. I admit I am not very good at understanding poems sometimes. They just seemed melancholy to me. And I agree, dark times do teach us, but I am finding that I learn in the light too. It’s whenever I choose to be open to it. 😊
I can relate to this. I think in a lot of ways it’s our world.
Same here, I think especially with the job market the way it is, it is definitely more bleak than previous time periods
Yeah, there’s a lot of slow-burning pressure around which can’t be very good for people
Love this!
Dark but wonderful at the same time. I think everyone misses those times when life just seemed easier and more pleasant.”Ignorance is bliss.”
Great description. You have really captured how people look and feel after a day’s work in a job they hate. Takes me back.
