23. Take Me Back

Take me back to when,
Running in the field was looked at as a game
And not as an escape from ones traumatic maze.

Take me back to when,
We had more time to just laugh while cherishing good memories
And not be sitting in a corner trying to come up with quick remedies.

Take me back to when,
The moon shines with its pride of stars
And not look down at us like it has a painful heart.

Take me back to when,
Smiling was a pure act of happiness
And not an emotion that needs to be forcefully awoken.

But now we live in a period where,
No time machine has found its way into existence
And victory lies only if you can manipulate your emotions to show the world your resilience.
