At the dusk of a score

Its been 20 long years
A lot of cheers with some tears and other fears
Life has been kind
Though occasionally, I have been blind
The world changed me
As I changed with the world
In anger, I have hurled
In pain, I have curled
In confusion, I have whirled
Yet life has always unfurled
Denial was the easy way out
Survival was never the doubt
Senselessness was a big foggy cloud
Recklessness meant joining the heedless crowd
Shades of depravity color my character past
Hues of perceptivity tint my better present
It hurts but the past has passed
Fingers crossed; the present is to recast
Hope the future lies in contrast
The possibilities out there remain vast
Life has no rewinds or forwards
It always unfolds itself at its own pace
Let go of the time and aim upwards
Look around you; it's all space

Let go and live, life will be as life is. That's the message I get here.
I like how you're rhyme is immediate and then just stands back and then is immediate and there again.
"Shades of depravity color my character past." - love that line.
I like how you use words that I don't usually hear in poetry, that might sound weird, but a lot of times I don't hear big and difficult words being rhymed together so effortlessly.
Great piece.

Raw, beauty, "The world changed me
As I changed with the world " I love that line, it so resonates with me.

You write life, like a true and real painting. Colorful, with up's and down's.
Enjoyed muchly!
