Then And Now...

Then I was free from burdens,
Now I only think about guerdons...

Then I had sweet,dream filled nights
Now I ponder to make my future brights

Then I was free to laugh,
Now my happiness is cut off to half....

Then I wasn't afraid to fall,
Now I play safe ergo only crawl....

Now I miss those nights and days,
When a child wasn't stucked in the haze....

Now I want my freedom and childhood back,
But this is life so there isn't any time hack...

This is a my second clumsy attempt to write English poem..
First one is resting in one of my diary which is laying in some corner of my cupboard.
Let me know if it's OK...
