THOSE DAYS - INSPIRED

 

Those days
I miss those days;
When I had little or nothing to worry about,
When I harbor no hatred and malice,
When a smile alone signifies friendship

Those days;
When I didn't have to carry the weight of my thoughts,
When all occupied my thoughts were food and sleep,
When no action of me was forced.

Those days;
When I was oblivious to competition,
When the word "Hate" was an abomination to me,
When I could smile and really mean it.

Those days;
When I couldn't go to bed angry at a friend,
When I could reconcile with friends without being told,
When I really wanted to see my friends happy with or without me.

Those days,
When nothing was a secret from anyone,
When everyone and anyone was a confidant,
When I didn't have to lie;
and my favorite mantra was "All liars shall perish in the lake of fire".

How then did the days become lost?
How then did my innocence get soiled?
How then did hatred started leaving rent free in my heart?

How then did those days seems like it never existed and would never exist?
