I once sat on the windows side
Amazed by the sky so wide
Only to stumble upon familiar reflection
Saw myself as young as a child
Stared by his questioning eyes
What have we so far become?
Scared I looked back to the skies
But couldn't escape the horizon.
Between the clouds and the sea
Excuses ranked from bad to worst
How am I going to trick you and me?
Which one should I start with first?
Is this the truth of my misery?
Or the illusion I want to see?
Do I need the help of that child,
For the fool I am and always will be
The endless "ifs" spiraling down
How different everything could be
This time I will rise, not drown
The boys dream still waiting for me

Yes, I like this one, thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your comment!
Definitely had a moment like that (way in the past)
I felt quite vividly, gained from forceful, well constructed poetry.
It's nice to know that we experienced the same moment, at a different place and time though..
