Lost Years Poem by Abimbola Ogunsowobo
Lost Years
It took me so many years
To regain my sanity
To discover how foolish and childish
I had been
I've toyed with my life at my prime
I'm now begging for time reversal
If I can mend my patches
Oh! What a miserable sweet past
Now I'm old and aged
I have to walk the journey I should have walked
I have to beg for the things I should have had
Oh! Misery...
Youthful age is a trap
An insightful piece of poetry well conceived and elegantly brought forth in persuasive expressions with conviction. Thanks for sharing, Abimbola.
The stages of life teach us many lessons later during old age... Well penned piece.....10++
" If I can mend my patches" . Life is patchworks of the events that time takes us through. Great poem reflecting on one's life.
