grieving my youth

i used to be so hopeful
so ambitious
i was a bright child
bright future

inevitable success
somewhere along
this 
time worn trail
i lost that spark
that significance
that worth
they cast me aside
a sad tale
of a girl who burned with vigor
extinguished too soon
and
the older i get
the more i know
she would hate me
she would hate 
what
i've
become
