Never too old for youth...

How has your mind been changed
by the slow decay time
has brought to you?
You used to think in invincible terms.
Your dreams hold no limits.
In terms of your abilities,
without
a doubt,
or a hesitating moment.
Now you doubt
all you once thought
to be real.
Everything you knew
as true.
All the hope you once had,
how sad
to find everything you thought
in the end to be
only the chemical snap, crackle and pop
inside your head.
All we have to defend our hearts
are the dreams we wrap around ourselves
to protect ourselves from the cruelty
that time and growing old brings.
Remember the boy
standing in the wind,
raised arms to the sky,
he thought that he could fly.
