My Story

autobiographical? confessional?? call it whatever you want :D

This Is My Story - by Unfathomd.

When I was a kid, I believed in myths,

Today, I think of those days I missed.

I believed in ghosts, I believed in ghouls,

No matter, how bright the day shined,

I still needed light.

Was there a time I kept my tooth,

Under the pillow in search of truth.

Things that I had heard of the tooth fairy,

who'd exchange for gifts that were lovely.

Time passed and I started to grow,

Life taught me lessons I need to know.

Some were cool, while some were a blow,

I learnt not much, during that show.

Again, time took me to my teenage years,

That was the time of my cheers and tears.

I started questioning the things around me,

Wanted to break the chains that bound me.

Sixteen, I started giving thought to my looks,

and stopped attending to my school textbooks.

It was not surprising that my grades were abyss,

because I lived more on that celestial bliss.

Now, I'm eighteen and I guess I'm different,

no more am I fascinated with the distant.

I dunno whether time would teach me more,

Because no one knows, what it has in store.
