It's been almost ten years since I sailed upon that isle, I’ve made a few choices during those times, regrettable ones, yet I miss that past.
Not the crimes I’ve committed or the actions I’ve made alongside but the simplicity of it all. The standards were loose, freeing. There was a lack of judgment, at least the serious kind.


Leaving that past behind was the right choice, I’ve gone through the song and dance yet these standards upon me.. Oh how choking they are.
I see the others, all barking at one another. I can’t help but be jealous, they’re able to express themselves without consequence.


How much longer must I claw my way through before I can be seen as normal, when will my past be rectified?
Maybe I’m thinking too much.. Maybe these are thoughts I should disregard, no matter what I do in this present, nothing will change.


Ignore them, let life tick on. I’ve got what I wanted after all, surely.
I’ve done so much, I’ve sacrificed so much of myself to reach this point, it was worth it, right?

Only time will tell I guess..
