Perception
In childhood you dreamed of growing up
because you believed freedom from your problems lied in this
then you learned as you grew older
that in reality your ignorance was bliss.
In adolescence you bought into the illusion
that your problems could be alleviated through popularity
but life ends up teaching you
that your blessed to have one or two friends caring.
Then you enter young adulthood
believing you found the one worth waiting for
just remember that your perception
has been wrong twice before.
