Place me in a capsule
and send me back in time,
to when I wasn’t afraid to
venture out in the daytime.
When the days felt like weeks
and weeks were like years
and I was still unacquainted
with all my fears.
Outside in the sunshine
with my body tanned,
the future in my head
already planned.
Endless possibilities
stretched out in front of me,
I thought I could be
whatever I wanted to be.
But then life took notice
of my silly dreams,
smiled to himself,
then smashed them
to smithereens.
Leaving me to pick up
what pieces that I could
to accompany me on
my journey into adulthood.

The carefree life of childhood is priceless.
