The villian will always be the villian if the hero tells the story.


Walking these old town streets 

A thousand memories flash before me 

Remembering one too many defeats

Flashbacks are surely not my cup of tea


One by one I recognize everyone

Everybody changed nobody is the same anymore 

The separation of friends has slowly begun

The ones that would last forever we swore 


Passing by old childhood playgrounds

Thinking about my old imagination 

That was killed by all the hatred that surrounds 

Every time I remember comes more frustration 


Walking these old town streets 

A thousand memories flash before me 

Remembering one too many defeats

I’m not the person people thought I’d be


The author's comments:

I wrote this piece when I moved back to an old town I had previously lived in before. I realized no matter what the world keeps spinning without you. All my old friends turned into people i could no longer recognize. I also changed into a new person over time too though.
