When I was a Child

When I was a Child

"When I was a child I spoke as a child I understood as a child I thought as a child; but when I became a man I put away childish things."

As I put down my head to pen this prose..
there came a thought as lame as it goes.
I have to captivate my audience at once!
I can't get away with a pedestrian performance!
Gone are the days of pristine joy ,
that came with doing things I enjoy .

How can happiness be a result of an endeavor?
It wasn't long when it was aimless and pure,
when I painted the sun setting by the shore.
Why would this now not suffice me whole?
Coz now I seek to gratify my thinking soul.
Even as I write I'm trying to rhyme every bloody word!

When your talents lose out on your new found call.
its then you realize that it isn't worth after all.
Damn with this literary verbose shit!
Damn with this mediocre effort,
maybe the title isn't apt .
Oh My!! I still don't get the point .
Wish I get few of those childish things back.

Nishanth>> It sounds pure... you still are the child... and i guess thats the way you might wanna feel... coz even though you've written some amazing shit... it still is only goanna bring you justa "praise"... I guess as we all loose our innocence we so often want to mispell praise for prize... hmm...

looks like you started with something and ended up with s***!

but yes, as the so called maturity comes in, the fun of doing all those child-like and childish things are lost or u simply don't have the time!
