Yes this is true of life when we get older the goal is to become wiser not cynical. although that is the case as you have read in my poem "Concert in L-Minor" This is a great write

You have a very mature voice in this one, Miss Wray, and i'm impressed. This was, to me, one of those poems that you read and then think "How come i never thought of that sooner?". It's funny, though, how the poem focuses on only the let down of realizing you aren't as good as you thought you were. Maybe in a few years, we'll get the optimistic conclusion where you find something that you enjoy doing for a living and succeed at it. :-) Peace. Butterat Zool.

Butterat_Zool I'm impressed - you understood the meaning of my poem spot on (despite my best efforts to cloud it behind vague words).

Future readers, take heed:
"the poem focuses on only the let down of realizing you aren't as good as you thought you were."

I suppose one day I'll get around to writing the next chapter - how I've finally realised after 19 years that you'll never really know how others perceive you and it's pointless to try or care - any efforts to try to find out inevitably lead to a sad goose chase and the irony of losing your real (and very wonderful) personality along the way anyway.
