a long time ago

when i was younger, much younger.
like a year ago.
i thought about life differently.
i thought
the world should go according
to how i wanted it to go.

i wanted people to behave like me.
but not anymore, which was a bad idea
from the jump. i'm not a role model
by any stretch.

but i was younger than, very young.
unwise, burdened with things i
had no business being burdened by.

i wanted people to change.
to be good,
to be better.
to be who i imagined them to be.
i saw the halo on almost everyone
i'd meet.

not anymore.

it's too hard thinking like that.
worrying about such things.

but i was younger then,
what the hell did i know way
back then,
a year ago.
