Chapter 34 - What Blooms Eventually Wilts

No matter how I tried to resist,

As times passes,

So does, who I was.

.

I used to find it romantic,

Whenever was asked to stay up midnight talk.

Now I simply find it,

An annoying bother called obligation.

.

I used to dream that one day,

I'd become a well named psychiatrist.

Now I simply wants to,

Be in isolated ward as a patient.

.

I tried to be that ideal brother,

Protecting them as well as model.

Now I won't hesitate,

To sell them just for my sake.

.

To help those in need and seek, 

Used to be part of my virtue.

Now in the sideline I smile,

As I enjoy how others suffer

          (alt: the feeling of schadenfreude)

.

I used to be an optimist

Pure and naive, full of innocence.

Now am a pessimist,

Basking in taint as a hedonist.

.

I need not pity,

Nor moral guidance.

Been there, done that,

Heck in bed my teacher and I end up with.

.

Do feel shame about all this?

Wouldn't have a poem now if I did would it?

Why would hide myself, 

I would rather show me for the world to see.

.

Yes, this is who I had become,

Or probably who I just really am.

I no longer know,

For I'm too far gone.

.

So need neither pity nor guidance.

For it's too late for me.

But before, like me they end up,

To those who is not yet, it still not.
