Greatest Setback

Something I wrote forever ago. It's pretty apt of growing up.

I used to think the world was mine,

A beautiful mistake-

To see it all and then to think

It was but mine to take.

Then the world came crashing down,

No beauty in demise;

The world had put me in my place

And claimed me as its prize.
