I Was Young

by

I've seen this gloom that dawned on me
Yet I ignore, chose not to see
With youthful bliss and innocence 
Had faith and hope in hopelessness
 
I saw yet I chose not to see 
Reasons to leave grew more and more 
Passing by me, yet I ignore
My pride and ego took control
 
That clouds of gray have shut my eye 
Now I'm at lost I could have die 
As much as I want to return 
I can't but now's the time to turn
 
To go elsewhere I've never been
To see a sight I've never seen.
