My Then Makes Me Now

During the shallow times I call then

I was filled with no types of experience.

My life took action with the knowledge I have received,

which back then was small and little known.

The amount of past experience creates my level maturity now,

my life is proof that “My Then Makes Me Now”.

 

As my then began to fade into now,

I became cognizant of what’s common to the human eye.

my ambivalence transformed in known reason,

and my innocence made me guilty of solutions and knowledge. 

My then blinded me from my now with my dreams,

but my experience back then is how “My Then Makes Me Now”.
