Taking my own prompt from Allographic, this turned up this morning:
I’ve defied the promise of my youth;
I feel the loss, but cannot spur myself.
And is it wisdom now to tell the truth?
I’ve redefined the promise of my youth.
To act ungrateful now might seem uncouth,
but I don’t mind the dust on this warm shelf.
They deified the promise of my youth;
I feel the loss, but cannot spurn myself.
