Only when I was a child were there times that my imagination was
C a p t u r e d
And now my mind flits drunkenly from one subject to another
Looking for a high to drown out the things I feel –
Not that what I feel is necessarily something worth drowning,
But in my boredom it is not worth retaining,
And I remain unimpressed.
It seems I am still chained to my past desires.
I stride forward determinedly into my future, and yet, and yet,
And yet
I hear them calling my name –
No, they are but echoes,
I know, I know,
But I turn my back anyway and wander back into the mist.
Their mummies are not rotted, but they are not fresh. The high does not last.
And I have grown tolerant.

edit better title (actually original title, I'm just forgetful 
)
When you rewatch your favorite childhood movies (Sharkboy and Lavagirl hurrrr) and it doesn't measure up to your memories
of course, there's still time to create new memories, so I won't lose too much sleep over it, lol.

and we are left to dance with ourselves... think of the butterfly, does the caterpillar remember its' transcendence? How do we molt from desire to desired? I think myself, I like to stroll closer to the edge in those moments to get a clearer look and maybe fuel to go a little further down that road...
