once

Once was a time I could breathe,
Like I felt the world was revolving around me,
Once was a time I was free,
Where no conflicts were to trouble me,
Once was a time I wished to flee,
When a problem occured,
Then of course I find solutions.
Once was a time I was in glee,
Resolving every problem.
Once was a time I was naive,
Thinking everything had a solution,
Thinking I could live freely,
Forever.
Once was a time I was at ease,
Happy,
Not at all anxious,
Enjoying my life,
Contented.
Once was a time I could see,
See the right path,
Differ the right from wrong.
Once was a time I could think,
Think carefully of things I should do,
Or I shouldn't.
