what happened?

93 8 12
                                    

What happened to the olden days?
Handwritten letters and simple ways.
What happened to dancing in the rain,
And spending hours drinking champagne
Talking through all the pain
What happened to sneaking out at 12 am just to escape the world for a day
What happened to me?
What happened to rooftops and sunrises at three
What happened to that sparkling smile
And eyes that had never cried
What happened to being happy
Even if you only tried?
"You are never good enough"
This society says
You strive to be perfect,
Yet you are in you're own way.
Cruel images of love stories,
And dazzling sights you will never see.
What happened to travel,
Through a book?
Or finding joy with a single look?
What happened to you and me?
These days why is perfection key?
What happened to the olden days?
Handwritten letters and simple ways
What happened to soaking in the sun's rays
And when individuality was something to praise
